Nature Conservation Handbooks for London

About 30 years ago, London's natural history was beautifully described in 32 separate handbooks, one for each borough.

They are still remarkably accurate, providing detailed accounts of history, culture and wildlife special to that area of London. Very few books come close to providing such well-researched content. Unfortunately, they are now out of print, and in private ownership. Here are three I have been given permission to digitise to make the handbooks shareable.
