Thames Basin Lowlands, South East Mixed (Wooded)
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Thames Basin Lowlands Character Area is a narrow band running along the southern edge of the Thames Basin between Croydon in the east and Aldershot in the west. It is a gently undulating area of farmland with small woodlands and meandering rivers making their way to the Thames. Of the Character Area, 38% is open countryside, and of this 63.7% is cultivated. As a result of the urban expansion of London across the northern parts, 62% of the area is urban, whilst 10.3% of the area contains woodland.
