Burgess Park

Burgess Park is a public park situated in Camberwell in the London Borough of Southwark. It is close to Walworth to the north, Bermondsey to the east and Peckham to the south. At 56 hectares (140 acres), it is the largest park in the borough.

Unlike most other parks in London, Burgess Park was carved out of a highly built-up area of London. Virtually all the land now occupied by the park was previously used for housing, industry and transport infrastructure.
