Brockwell Park Walled Garden

Just south of Brixton, Brockwell Park is a much-needed patch of green space. In the summer, locals from the neighborhood come here to worship the sun, fly kites, swim in the outdoor pool, play football, and parade an amazing assortment of canines. It has a wide variety of settings to suit all interests, from the serene, rolling meadows of Tulse Hill to the sloping football fields along the Dulwich Road. It is large, diversified, and exciting. As you stroll through stone pathways, between beds of colorful plants and flowers, to find bubbling fountains and private benches, the urban clamor fades away. This corner of London, which was originally Brockwell Hall's kitchen garden, is now a tranquil haven at a place where it is most needed.

In 1891, Brockwell Park Walled Garden was made accessible to the general public by the London County Council. Prior to then, it was part of the grounds of Brockwell Hall, whose existing structure dates from 1811 and is classified as a Grade II building. The hall is still present at the park's center and is now a slightly run-down place to buy tea, pastries, and fantastic ice cream.

The renowned lido was constructed in 1937 and, following a challenging ten years, was brought back to its former splendor in 2007. With its aerial slide, large sandpit, and areas for different age groups, Brockwell Park's playground is a favorite; close by are the duck ponds and the enormous paddle pool. Circuses, outdoor concerts and festivals, as well as the yearly Lambeth Country Show—a spectacular mashup of a village fete, a city farm, a reggae band, and an exhibition of vegetable sculptures—are regular events. Crowds gather from all over the city for this event.
