Please Note: This monitoring site is closed.
London Eltham Information
The monitoring station is located within an existing building in the grounds of an environmental education centre. The nearest road, the A210 Bexley Road is approximately 25m to the south of the station. The surroundings consist of a mixture of habitats including trees, areas of grass, ponds, a golf course and housing. The site is part of the London Air Quality Network and is owned and funded by the London Borough of Greenwich. Please note there are plans to re-open London Eltham, alongside our partners at the Royal Borough of Greenwich who own the site, as part of a wider site redevelopment. Although closed while the land nearby is developed, the site is likely to re-open in the future and may or may not be allocated the same UK-AIR ID, depending on a final review once it is established.
