About

The Welsh Harp, also known as Brent Reservoir, is a large freshwater lake located in the London Borough of Brent. It spans approximately 170 acres and serves as a key green space for the surrounding urban area. The reservoir was created in the early 19th century to supply water to the Grand Union Canal. Today, it is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its importance for wetland birds and other wildlife.

The area around the Welsh Harp features walking paths, cycling routes, and opportunities for water sports like sailing and fishing. It is bordered by parks and nature reserves, including the Brent River Park and the Welsh Harp Open Space. The lake attracts birdwatchers, with species such as herons and kingfishers frequently spotted.
