Elmley Island National Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey in North Kent teems with wildlife, including the country’s largest lowland collection of breeding waders. It is about as remote as you can be near London. It is one of the largest bird reserves in England. It is possible to stay there and even get married there. The structure on the left is an old lookers' hut which it is possible to stay in - see https://www.elmleynaturereserve.co.uk/ In the distance is the farmhouse which has been recently restored.
