Welcome to the Lee Valley park website

Close Season
Year-round angling is available on all of Lee Valley Park's still waters and the Lea Navigation from Bow in London to Wormley in Herts. Riverine systems continue to honour the traditional close season.

Rod Licences
Before you are allowed to fish you must purchase an Environment Agency Rod Licence available from Post Offices. Each licence allows the use of up to two rods. Therefore, on waters where three or four rods are permitted, two licences are necessary if more than two rods are to be fished.

Lee Valley Park Season Permits
We issue two types of full season permit which are valid from 16th June to 15th June the following year. These are a Day/Night Permit which enables an angler to fish during the day and night or a Day Only Permit which allows an angler to fish from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. Permits are issued for individual venues only. Please e-mail to request an Application Form from the Fisheries Office.

Permit for Anglers with Disabilities

Lee Valley Park offers a special permit to disabled anglers which allows exclusive use of specially designed disabled facilities at 9 of the fisheries. It allows the holder to fish and, if required take one companion who may fish provided that this doesn't interfere with other permit holders or exceeds permit holders individual rod use allocation. The permit is designed for use on these specific sites and swims only. Six of the disabled sites are detailed in this guide; information on the other sites is available from the Fisheries Office. An information pack accompanies the permits which includes maps of sites, swim locations and details the conditions of its use.

To apply for this special permit, we request you provide a form of disability entitlement.
