With 130 parks and open spaces in Southwark it's one of the greenest boroughs in London and at 46 hectares, Burgess Park is the largest park in Southwark. The park was created to help transform one of Southwark's most densely populated areas in the wake of the second world war blitz. For the next forty years the park grew steadily, taking in hundreds of demolished dwellings, thirty streets, a few factories, churches, and filling in an old canal. Today the park is home to a sports pavilion, cafe (at Chumleigh Gardens) and plenty of grassy areas for five a side football. There's also a lake in the corner close to Old Kent Road and Albany Road, part of which is used for fishing.
