The story of a 130 hectare ancient woodland and nature reserve which , once part of the beautiful Kentish landscape, is now embedded in the suburbs of south-east London. 'Oxleas' outlines the history of the woodland and tells the story of the great houses which were built amongst the trees in the mid 19th century - and which came to be occupied by the rich and famous - engineers and eccentrics, artists and aristocrats, and stars of stage and screen. In this often amusing book, Tom Wareham explores not just the history of the woodland - but also its vital importance today, both ecologically and as a means for urban dwellers to re-connect with Nature.
