The wonderful Brunswick Park which is less than 0.2 miles away offers free tennis courts and a children’s play area, making it a valuable community asset. Camberwell Green has become a real focal point to the area with its weekend farmers market and established art scene helping build on this already tight knit and friendly community. Camberwell Church Street is a 0.4 mile walk from which you can hop on several buses that will whisk you to Oval, Vauxhall (Victoria) or Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo) Underground stations. Denmark Hill Station is a pleasant 0.8 mile walk away and offers fast trains to Victoria, the Thameslink line and the Overground between Clapham Junction and Highbury and Islington. Camberwell Church Street has seen a boom in the number of fantastic independent restaurants and there is a 24/7 Gym located on Southampton Way.
