a roll of receipts from 1958 curl up on the floor of the abandoned Lister Block. They were in amazing condition.
A brilliant place to visit and a surprisingly large nature reserve in the middle of one of the worlds greatest and largest cities. You can see the urban backdrop and aeroplanes over the city but at times you will feel as if you are in the countryside. You will see many common wildlife as well as rare birds dropping in as well. It has quite an impressive list for a reserve in an urban area. A number of birds especially which are not found in urban areas are resident or passage migrants here.
City oasis
WWT London has been voted the UK’s Favourite Nature Reserve. Close to the heart of the capital, it is a haven for birds, wildlife and people.

London Wetland Centre is an idyllic spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the City for a walk or to indulge in an afternoon of bird watching from one of our six hides. The reserve is easily accessible with pathways and bridges among the pools, meadows and gardens.
But if you want to learn a bit more about the centre - how it was created and the work we do here - you can join one of our tours held daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm. There’s no need to book and the tour is free with admission to the centre.
Our guides will explain how London Wetland Centre was created from four redundant Thames Water reservoirs. They will also point out wildlife spotted on the day.
Over 200 species of bird have been recorded on site since we opened in 2000. Also making their home amongst the 300,000 plants and 27,000 trees we planted during the centre’s creation are water voles, dragonflies, frogs, snakes, slow worms, bats, newts and butterflies, to name just a few.
You can also join one of our wardens at 3.00pm each day as they feed the birds in World Wetlands. Just turn up and the walks are free with admission to the centre.
As well as our regular walks we frequently run specialist walks and talks on everything from plant identification and reptiles to bird watching and bird song. See our Whats On section for forthcoming events.
And every day you will find our ‘Guide in the hide’ who will be able to point out the birds you can see on our lakes and lagoons.
•Guided tours, daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm
•Bird feed tour, daily at 3.00pm

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit?
The London Wetland Centre is a beautiful place to visit all year round with the landscape and wildlife changing constantly with the seasons.
Spring is perfect for wild flowers and songbirds. In the summer you can relax outside with a picnic and enjoy the sound of marsh frogs, crickets and warblers. Our sustainable gardens are beautiful at that time of year, bursting into a blaze of colour that lasts all summer.
Autumn is great for seeing rare birds passing through on migration and winter is the best time to observe the flocks of wild duck or catch sight of an elusive bittern, regular visitors over recent winters.
Why not combine your visit with one of our special events such as late night opening, some of our animal themed events or a twilight bat walk?
What should we wear?
The centre has tarmac/firm level paths throughout and so any comfortable shoes will suffice. It is worth bringing an umbrella or waterproof if rain is forecast as the reserve covers more than 40 hectares and it can take a few minutes to reach shelter.
When should we pay?
Please pay at the admissions desk on the day of your visit. The centre would very much appreciate if you could arrange one payment per group. This will speed up your admission into the centre. If you are paying individually please be prepared to wait.
Some of our group can’t walk far, is it still suitable?
Yes, there is plenty to see and do in our visitor centre and there are numerous benches scattered throughout the reserve. It is also possible to book a wheelchair or electric buggy to help you travel around the reserve.

•Membership volunteers (especially weekends)
•Corporate work groups - weekdays
•Events volunteers (at weekends)

Membership volunteers
Are you inspired by wetlands and their wildlife? Could you help save them?
Do you have an outgoing, friendly personality to engage with visitors at WWT London Wetland Centre?

Work experience
WWT London Wetland Centre takes five work experience students a year for one working week at a time. Students spend each day working with a different department.
Work experience must be part of the schools programme and placements are subject to interview.

33 year old receipt from Shakespeare & Co. in Manhattan that was left in one of the books we bought. I guess the receipt wasn't printed on acid free paper
Isaac Asimov Presents The... $4.95, SETI (Frederick Fichman) $4.95, and Kittens on Vacation $9.95.
That Shakespeare & Co. is no longer at 2259 Broadway, but there is one at 2020 Broadway under new management. There's also an Upper East Side branch on Lexington Ave. The NYC Shakespeare & Co. are unrelated to Shakespeare and Company in Paris.
This Receipt is from June 18, 2001 and is very old and rough condition. for it being 16 years old, stuff was fading out from how old this receipt was. I'm glad I still have it. This was most likely from the Ames at 2711 Elm Street in Erie, PA
it cost me $78.84 . the sticker exchange packs killed me. i'll be eating bologna sandwichs for a week hahaha i gotta love it!!

We've been going through Mom and Daddy's things for several months and have been amazed at all the papers we've found. This was among the things they kept. It is a receipt given to my uncle Yeck. He visited Dr. Grover C. Sumpter in Rose Hill, VA on August 1, 1936. The charge was $1. Yeck paid with a pig and received a credit of $5.
A variety of different designs of Shell receipt, from garages all over the country. Some of these I collected as a kid; others have come from eBay in later years; at least one was in a bag full of receipts I found by the side of the road once. The dramatic mid-70s receipts with their "Super Multi-Grade" header are interesting.

While we're on the topic of Walmart, here's an old receipt I have from 2000 that came from Walmart #718 in Auburndale, FL, located in Polk County. I found this receipt in a book. This store has since relocated to a new Supercenter.
