Sydenham Wells Park

A small park. This park was officially opened in 1901 and is regarded as one of the most attractive in the Borough of Lewisham. It gets its name from a number of springs within its borders. These springs were thought to have medicinal powers during the 18th and 19th centuries. Facilities include tennis courts, putting green and a children's play area, as well as formal gardens, nature reserve and water features.

Weeping Willow

Salix babylonica (Babylon willow or weeping willow), is a species of willow native to areas of northern China, but cultivated for millennia elsewhere in Asia, being traded along the Silk Road to southwest Asia and Europe.
