Southwark Park was a pleasant surprise for me - I’d never heard of it but it is huge and there’s a boating lake where during the summer you can hire a pedalo and be threatened by geese.

Other facilities include a cafĂ©, tennis courts and even a bowling green, which seemed exactly as popular as I’d imagined it would be.

Southwark Park Galleries

A charity-run modern art gallery set beside the lake in Southwark Park. I’d love to tell you what it is like inside but, genius that I am, I went there on a TFL bike only to discover there are no docking stations nearby. I will be back!
