About

As darkness falls WWT London Wetland Centre becomes a truly magical place and one of the best places in London to see bats as they fly in at night to feed over our lakes and ponds

WWT London Wetland Centre is one of the best places to watch bats in London as we have seven species that hunt on site. Our special late night adult bat walks give you the opportunity to see these amazing flying mammals and their astonishing aerial acrobatics, guided by one of our bat experts.

We supply bat detectors to help you identify the species that are swooping overhead and to listen to them 'chattering' as they hunt for food.

A welcome drink will be provided on arrival as well as a drink with marshmallows around the fire at the end of of this nocturnal adventure!

Location: Meet outside admission entrance. Gates open 6.15pm-6.30pm. Please make sure you arrive in time as we will not be able to admit late arrivals.
