yeah, it's good round there for parks, I like to follow the green chain route from Charlton Park through Woolwich Common and into Oxleas Wood
Closer to home I'm fond of Burgess Park (off the Old Kent Road), I like the big lake that's in the middle of it

Sitting on the bok of the day
Hilly Fields for the stone circle, farmers' market & proximity to our house (it's still a good 20 minute walk though)
Clapham Common for the Windmill & lots of happy memories
Battersea for the Buddhist Peace Pagoda, old Festival of Britain bits & more happy memories (not of the Festival of Britain - I'm not THAT old)
St James's for magnificent views
Richomond for the staggies
Thames Barrier for interesting/innovative design & view over river.

Well for a start this site came into existance as our Glorious Editor found himself inspired by the white hot heat of creativity that was and is Brixton.
The Romans founded Londinium at the lowest point the Thames could be forded. The earliest buildings were south of the river, in Southwark
Wat Tyler and his Kentish Army camped out on Blackheath, before being stabbed by the then Mayor of London, a certain William of Walworth (no relation I hope!!
) when he crossed to the northern shoreThe Montgolfier Brothers balloon was first flown South of the river in Vauxhall
It was the brewers of Southwark who chased the Ausrtian Crown Prince from the premises as a result of his murdering policies in Italy, leading Garibaldi to insist that he visit them on his first visit to Britain as the Prime Minister of a united anf free Italy.
All the theatres that marlowe, Shakespear and even ben Johnson were first performed in the Liberty of Southwark
Dulwich Picture gallery was the first public art gallery in the world
Burgess Park has the largest free latin American festival in Europe
Lambeth Country Fair is the fuckin absolute nuts
The hiils of South London are less crowded than those of the North so were are ble to relax - which having lived North of the river for many years - I can asure you is much easier to do in the South
We do not have anywhere near the density of pretentious knobs ends as north of the river

the very existence of clapham and the rah's that reside there is in itself an adequate excuse for genocide...
until you can explain away clapham motherfuckers I'll not look at the rest of your admittedly quite interesting looking post.

Clapham is negated by the likes of West Hampstead, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Highgate, Muswell Hill, Angel and St John's Wood.

none of those places are anywhere near as bad as clapham...claphams in a different universe to the aforementioned...
innit
c'mon, little life giver
Rubbish
Clapham is half estates, there are some through and through wankers but the majority are human.
Which is more than can be said for West Hampstead.

springfield park is my favourite by miles...
relatively unknown and quiet, not full of tossers like clissold park, game of cricket on normally, lovely view, right by the canal, that good pub near by...
its pretty much perfect...
anything south of the river is out naturally by dint of the fact its in shitty south london and therefore automatically shiiiiiiitttttttttttt
pffft
South London parks would win hands down
boohoo
No.

A palace of ironic charm and ornate beauty, the Lost Society is the lavish jewel in Clapham's crown.

Wow, something well traumatic happened to you in Cla'm didn't it? Were you held down and force fed Pimms while the Hoorays sang Rule Britannia? Thas wot happened to me and it took me years to get over.....
But Cla'm is pretty much sealed off from the rest of us, South Chelsea an all that, and is really more a part of Putney than the real South London
In other words, its a sort of extrusion of Surrey into the bowels of an otherwise blamelessand wonderful region.......
boohoo
No.
This is on Wandsworth road which isn't really Clapham.
(But I didn't know there was a 16th century barn there... i might have to have a look)

Peckham Rye is the unfenced bit with the football pitches and that. Peckham Rye Park is the fenced in bit - as parks are - at the southern end, with a Japanese Garden, lots of water and parakeets a-plenty.
