These Hart's-tongues were first noticed in June 2007 - the first seen in Wanstead Park. Others known locally are in the City of London Cemetery and on the railway arch by the Alders Brook.

By 2010, there were two separate plants growing from the higher brickwork, plus another growing from the base.

In December 2008, some more were discovered in the Park, on the back wall of a garden by Woodlands Avenue wayleave. However, the wall was replaced a year or so later so these are no longer present.
