Norwood Park
Norwood Park is situated on one of the highest points in Lambeth and offers the visitor some good views across South London.
It is 33 acres in size. London County Council acquired it in 1903 to create a new public park to serve the needs of a growing local population in West Norwood and Gipsy Hill. The new park was called Norwood Park and opened officially to the public in 1911. It was designed to retain many features of the old hilly common, along with avenues of trees, hedges, games court and playground.
