ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Leyton Marshes

Okay kiddo, so Leyton Marshes is a big open space outside in London that people can go to play and have fun outside. It’s kind of like a big playground with lots of grassy areas and things you can climb on.

A long time ago, people used to use Leyton Marshes for farming and fishing. But now it's mostly for people to enjoy being outside and playing sports like football, rugby or flying kites.

People take care of Leyton Marshes by picking up rubbish and making sure they don't hurt the animals and plants that live there. It's like looking after a big garden!

Lots of people like to go to Leyton Marshes because it's a great place to get some exercise and have fun outside with friends and family. It’s a really special place for the community because it's one of the few big open spaces in that part of London.
