Once part of Lambeth Palace, the London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop’s Park opened as a public park in 1901. The Park has a vibrant mixture of soft and hard landscaping, including mature trees, herbaceous borders, and numerous wildlife habitats. It also contains a series of community-inspired works of public art, and a small but popular community garden. As well as a large children’s playground, the Park contains an extensive set of bookable sports facilities, including artificial grass sports pitches, cricket nets and tennis courts, along with changing rooms and toilets.
