Southwark Park was opened to the public on 19th June 1869. Its design was based on an original map produced by the Superintendent Architect Mr Vulliamy, and Alexander Mckenzie. The original intention was for part of the park to be used as building plots but the Vestry of Bermondsey opposed this. In 1872, the carriage drive was reduced in width when the building plans were eventually shelved. This path was part of the original downsized carriage drive.
