A few years ago, the grounds surrounding the attractive former almhouses were transformed into a delightful world garden. As well as a striking squeare blue tiled mosaic pond, you will find Middle Eastern, African and Mediterranean plants in raised beds and shady corners.

The park was named after Councillor Jessie Burgess, Camberwell’s first woman mayor and has some magnificent flowering trees as well as an old lime kiln nearby.

Unfortunatly, the cafe plays music but there are plenty of tables and benches to sit outside on sunny days.
