A space that is free where you can be free

Welcome to the website of Thames Chase - one of just a few surviving community forests in England.

Thames Chase is to the east of London and south-west Essex. It provides the community with a unique, free space.

That means everyone can enjoy everything from nature to educational workshops, sports and special festivals. Explore our website to discover more about us or get in touch with our volunteers at the Visitor Centre in Upminster, Essex.
