About Cannon Hill Common

We try hard to preserve the nature that thrives on the Common and appreciate all the visitors that help us do that.

A few things that really help:

• Feed the ducks oats, grain and other floating duck food. See this article for more information on why we ask you to avoid giving them bread

• Taking litter home - there are many bins around the Common, but they often get really full, especially at the weekends. Also, some of the naughtier inhabitants of the Common (foxes, crows, magpies - we are looking at you!) really enjoy picking things out of the bins and scattering them everywhere!

• Cycling - a reminder that Merton Council classify the Common as a no-cycling area. Interestingly, horses aren't permitted either. Neither are any other beasts of burden, pigs, goats, cattle or sheep!
