Brockwell Hall
Brockwell Hall
Brockwell Hall was built 1811-13 for John Blades, a Ludgate Hill glass maker. It was designed by D R Roper and is now grade II* listed. This view from 2023 shows the building undergoing restoration and surrounded by Heras fencing: TQ3173 : Brockwell Hall. Since then the Glass Maker's Café has opened inside and customers are taking advantage of the spring sunshine to sit at the picnic tables outside.
Brockwell Park :: TQ3174

Brockwell Park is a 50 hectare park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, bordered by Brixton Water Lane, Norwood Road, Tulse Hill (Road), and Dulwich Road in South London.
The park commands views of the skyline of the city and Central London, and hosts almost 4 million annual visits. At the top of the hill within the park stands Brockwell Hall.
Brockwell Park is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) of Borough Importance, with mature trees including ancient oaks, substantial lawn areas set to meadow, and a series of lakes. As well as adding to the landscape value, these support a variety of birds, and bats.
The Park is listed for its heritage value on The National Heritage List for England, Parks & Gardens, Grade II. Noted for its nineteenth century layout as a gracious public park, the clocktower, water garden, JJ Sexby designed walled garden and other monuments, the park provides a pleasant exploration with links to its eighteenth century agricultural past in the hedge lines, and mature oak trees.
The Brockwell Lido, a Grade II listed art deco building near the top of the park, is an open-air swimming pool popular with swimmers and bathers. Its attached café/restaurant is also popular. Other amenities in Brockwell Park include tennis courts, a bowling green, a BMX track and a miniature railway.
