Walworth

Picture of a carnaval stall in Burgess Park

The area straddling the Walworth Road is a gateway into the city, with something of interest round every corner – a major London park and lake, a traditional street market, a busy shopping district, the biggest housing estate in Europe, a city farm, a museum and an original Henry Moore sculpture bang in the middle of a council estate.
