Wormwood Scrubs (By nathankw)

This is an officially marked Model Aircraft field in Wormwood Scrubs - a large area of parkland in West London.

The area is confirmed in the council byelaws here:

There are a lots of information boards around with various rules (see picture).
You're supposed to fly within the marked zone on the map but it's a fair size.

Flying is allowed at the following times (unless posted otherwise)
Monday – 1pm to 7.30pm
Tuesday – 9am to 6pm
Wednesday – 4pm to 7.30pm
Thursday – 9am to 6pm
Friday – 1pm to 7.30pm
Saturday – 9.30am to 1pm
Sunday – 10am to 1pm

WARNINGS:
The site is very near Wormwood Scrubs prison which is obviously a no-fly-zone.
However the actual forbidden area is only the immediate vicinity of the prison so stay well away and you'll be fine.

The whole site is also with the R160 restricted London zone. There's some confusion about exactly what that zone means - but it appears to only apply to helicopters.

Indeed - the existence of this officially designated zone within R160 is good evidence that drone flying is allowed within R160.

That makes this one of the closest official flying areas to Central London.
