Southwark Park is one of those great legacies left to us by the Victorian age. I particularly like the bandstand, though the rose garden and lake are also nicely done. I always like it when you are reading a book, and a local reference pops up, without you planning it that way. In a book where the action takes place in Spain, a character was introduced who was an unemployed dock worker from Bermondsey. But yes, Southwark Park is as pleasant a park as I have ever visited.
