From trash-strewn benches to thriving wildlife haven, Crane Park in Twickenham has undergone a stunning transformation. After years of neglect and viral embarrassment, a major river restoration project revived the River Crane, returning natural banks and boosting biodiversity. Now, visitors can spot bats, kingfishers, eels, and glow worms — plus enjoy family-friendly activities like bug hunting and river dipping at Crane Park Island, home to rare species and historic landmarks. Once a symbol of urban decay, it’s now a buzzing nature hotspot open for all to explore.
