Other Comments:

Beautiful location in West London with wooded areas interspersed with large open areas. Many places to fly but the area near East Sheen gate has the advantage of being flat and well exposed to anything between a Westerly and Southerly wind. Beware of stroppy stags they don't like kites buzzing around.
