Burgess Park

Accessed via the Old Kent Road, Walworth Road, and Camberwell, Burgess Park is one of the two major parks that bookend Peckham – the other being Peckham Rye –  and, on balance, is probably a bit more action-packed than its compatriot. Facilities include a BMX park, tennis courts, and a park-run track for weekly timed runs, while you’ll often see roller bladers gliding about its paths. It occasionally hosts open-air film screenings in the summer, as well as several festivals, the largest of which are Maiden Voyage and the Jazz Cafe Festival.
