Relax in Archbishop's Park
Once part of the grounds of Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop of Canterbury's London home, Archbishop's Park was first opened to local people during the tenure of Archbishop Tait, in the second half of the 19th century.
However, it wasn't until 1901 that it formally became a public park, which today is a popular escape for both commuters and local people. Today, the park also has sports pitches and a children's play area.
