Pyl Brook
Pyl Brook is a small stream in southwest London. It is a tributary of Beverley Brook, which is a tributary of the River Thames. Pyl Brook has two sources. The 5.3 kilometre main brook rises in Sutton and flows through the London Borough of Merton to join Beverley Brook at Beverley Park in New Malden. The 3.9 kilometre East Pyl Brook also rises in Sutton and flows through Merton, joining the main Pyl east of Grand Drive in Raynes Park.[1][2][3]
Local Nature Reserves
Two sections of the East Pyl are nature reserves. Pyl Brook Local Nature Reserve is an area of about two hectares between the brook and the back gardens of houses in Rutland Drive, Morden. It is also a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade II[4][2] It has mature hawthorn and elm scrub, with areas of crack-willow, elder, blackthorn and bramble. There is access from a path which crosses the site.[5][6] The brook also passes through Morden Park Local Nature Reserve.[2]
