Ideal for a sunny day. And for a cold rainy day: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
One of London's first public parks, with a boating lake and a contemporary art gallery in it.
Parks & commonsGardensFree
Laid out in 1869, among the first parks the Metropolitan Board of Works built for the people who lived around it rather than for a landowner, and historically protected for it. Sixty-three acres between Bermondsey and Rotherhithe: a boating lake that runs in summer, a bandstand that still gets used, an athletics track, and the Ada Salter garden — a semi-circular herbaceous border laid out in 1936 and named for the councillor who spent her life planting this part of London.
Southwark Park Galleries sits inside the park showing contemporary art, free, and is the reason to come on a grey day. By the Jamaica Gate stand four caryatids from Rotherhithe's old town hall of 1897 — salvaged, parked on the Heygate Estate for years, and finally set down here in 2011.
Gates open at half seven.
