Is the Guide to the Natural Areas of London and Region still available online?

Updated

No. According to the Nature London website, The Guide to the Natural Areas of London and Region is currently out of stock online. It remains available at Nature London events and select retailers, so the practical way to get a copy right now is in person rather than through an online order.

What the site says

The notice on naturelondon.com states plainly that the guide is out of stock online. It does not say the guide is discontinued, and it does not give a restocking date or an online purchase link. What it does confirm is a second channel: Nature London events and select retailers.

That distinction matters if you are trying to buy the guide today:

Option Status per the site
Online purchase Out of stock
Nature London events Available
Select retailers Available

Why the page looks different than expected

Nature London has moved its web presence to naturelondon.ca. The naturelondon.com page now serves mainly as a notice about that move, which is why you land on a short announcement instead of a shop or product page.

The same notice lists several projects that have not been moved yet:

  • Upgrade the Guide
  • Chimney Swift Monitoring
  • Osprey Monitoring

So if you were looking for guide-related updates, the migration is still in progress for that item. Expect the guide's online status to be clearer once it moves to the new site.

How to get a copy

  1. Check Nature London events. The guide is sold at these events, so attending one is the most direct route.
  2. Ask at select retailers. The site does not name them, so contact Nature London directly or ask locally which shops carry it.
  3. Watch naturelondon.ca. Since the guide's project page has not moved yet, the new site is where a restock or online listing would most likely appear.

Common snags

  • No online cart. Do not expect to complete a purchase on either domain while the guide is out of stock online.
  • No named retailers. The notice says "select retailers" without listing them, so you will need to confirm availability before making a trip.
  • Two domains, one organization. naturelondon.com and naturelondon.ca both belong to Nature London; the .com page is the older address pointing you to the new home.

If your goal is simply to own the guide, plan around an event or a retailer. If your goal is to buy it online, there is no supported way to do that at the moment based on the information Nature London has published.
