Bermondsey Spa Gardens

First opened in 1954 and fully refurbished in 2006, this award-winning park features a toddlers' play area, a multi-use games area, a 333m running track, a plaza and the Ellen Brown Bermondsey Play Centre, which provides facilities for children and parents. It's overlooked by the former Bermondsey public library, now home to the Kagyu Samye Dzong Tibetan Buddhist Centre.
