Archbishop's Park, Lambeth ⁷⁶⁴²

Brief Description

Various facilities have been added over the years, including a garden area dedicated to Octavia Hill and a community orchard was planted in 2010.

History

The site was formerly within the grounds of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lambeth Palace and in the late-19th century the 'local poor' were given limited public access to what became known as Lambeth Palace Field. Following a campaign for it to have unrestricted opening, in 1900 a licence was granted by the Church Commissioners for it to become a public park, which was laid out and opened in 1901.
