The site has a variety of names. It is part of the Hogsmill Valley Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I.[3][4] It is also called the northern Hogsmill River Park,[5] but Kingston Council has designated a closed wood east of the Hogsmill and north of the A3 road as Hogsmill River Park Local Nature Reserve.[2]

The London Loop long distance walk passes through the site.
