It is owned by Southwark Council and managed by the London Wildlife Trust. It is a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I. Formerly a council depot for the parking of utility vehicles, the centre was organized in 1989 by the London Wildlife Trust.

It hosts other habitats such as a chalk bank with wild flowers, meadows, a woodland copse, a bog garden, a roof garden, and two ponds with frogs, newts and dragonflies. It has been popular with those interested in native species, with local residents and with students. It hosts educational and entertainment events for adults and children.
