what is this green space everyone is talking about?
Green spaces in SE23:
Horniman Gardens, Horniman Triangle, Horniman Nature Trail, Blythe Hill, Mayow Park, Devonshire Road Nature Reserve, Garthorne Road Nature Reserve, Dacres Wood Nature Reserve, One Tree Hill, Honor Oak Rec, Honor Oak Road Nature.
Just over the borders:
Sydenham and Dulwich Woods, Baxters Field, Wells Park, Albion Millennium Green, Water Link Way, Brenchley Gardens, Camberwell Old Cemetery.
It is not quite like Hampstead or even neighbouring Dulwich, but SE23 (particularly SE23 3) contains a lot of easily accessible green spaces. Currently loads of money is being spent improving the Horniman Gardens and it is going to look splendid once finished. It is the quality of the green space that is at least as important as the quantity and we have two green flags and one green pendant in the area, recognising the quality of some of the parks and nature reserves.
