Wonderful Two Bed Flat in Grade II Listed Building - CHAIN FREE.
This Victorian former infirmary is home to a spacious two bedroom apartment with fantastic high ceilings (reaching 11ft) and great views - you can spot the Shard from the second bedroom, what a sight to wake up to! The accommodation comprises a magically airy and substantial curved living room with contemporary kitchen, two fantastic double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. There's an allocated off street parking space thrown in for good measure! The location is as impressive - just moments from the very lovely Brunswick Park - anyone for tennis? Camberwell's healthy list of eateries and boozers is a 4 minute ramble and you can reach Denmark Hill Station in around 15 minutes on foot.
The flat is on the first floor of this distinctive, partly circular building located just behind Havil Street near Southwark Town Hall. There's a video entry phone at the bottom, then take the lift or stairs to the first floor. Your travels are instantly rewarded when you enter the apartment - the hallway curves slightly and the first room off to the far right is the reception room. It truly is a thing of beauty, with that curving wall containing five large period windows flooding the room with light. There are generous lounging and dining areas and a fantastic contemporary kitchen also. Appliances include an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Re-trace your steps to the hall to find the first bedroom (an easy double) with two lofty windows and more simple decor. Next door is a bathroom, with white fittings and shower attachment. The second bedroom sports great city views and has three light-loving original windows and plenty of space for a double bed and wardrobes. The flat has the benefit of an off street car parking space in the monitored residents’ car park.

Alternatively take a 13 minute stroll up to Denmark Hill station where you can pick up fast, direct and frequent services to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars. The London Overground whizzes you to Clapham Junction, Clapham High Street, Shoreditch and beyond.

We love the Camberwell Arms for a cracking roast; The Crooked Well for some posh vino and The Hermit's Cave for a pint of the black stuff.

The secret garden is located on the D’Eynsford Estate in Camberwell. Located just off Kimpton Road, behind the KFC on Camberwell Church Street. The idea of a Community Garden arose as a way to generate greater community cohesion on the estate and as somewhere to relax and enjoy ourselves, as well as making new friends. The garden is situated on a previously derelict site, between Mary Datchelor Close and Camberwell Church Street. Work began on the garden in March 2009, pulling up the weeds and preparing the soil. The first funding from the O2 Community fund of £1000 built a green house. Then, at the end of 2010 they got £25,000 from the Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund at Southwark Council to completely redevelop the site and make it more attractive and accessible. The work was completed (more or less) by the Walworth Garden Farm in March and April 2010 and then they planted out hundreds of new bushes, flowers and vegetables.
The Secret Garden is currently open Saturdays 11am – 2pm and Sundays 10am – 12noon. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the space or have a go at gardening! There are always jobs to do to suit all ages and abilities.
Lettsom Gardens is a beautiful community garden bordered by Grove Park to the north and Grove Hill Road to the south. It is a popular and private amenity for the communities in both those streets and also more widely amongst Camberwell residents. The residents association host summer barbeques and bonfires there, providing special occasions for adults and children to meet new neighbours. The space is divided between woodland, allotments and a tarmac sports field. You'll be interested to know, Terry Jones lived on the opposite side of Lettsom Gardens for many years. He and the other members of Monty Python developed the scripts for the original series as they played five-a-side football there!
Loved by squirrels, locals on lunch and dog walkers, St Giles Churchyard lies behind the Anglican church between Wilson Road and Camberwell Grove.
Sitting right next to a busy junction, Camberwell Green is a small park that is often overlooked. Until the late 18th century, Camberwell was a rural village. The green used to play host to a rather notorious fair held for the Feast of St Giles. This became an increasingly boisterous affair lasting up to three days, until eventually, in 1856, the more 'well to do' residents put an end to it.
Lying between St Giles and Benhill Roads, it was laid out in the mid-Victorian era and is overlooked by some of the loveliest houses from the period in Camberwell. Popular with locals and staff from Southwark Town Hall, the facilities include free tennis courts and a children's play area.
Myatt's Fields Park, on the border of Southwark and Lambeth, is named after a market gardener called Myatt, reputedly famous for his strawberries. Today it features tennis courts, a bandstand and ball games area, and a new playground sporting a wet play zone (dog-free of course).
