Originally the grounds of Brockwell Hall, landscaped by J.B. Papworth, acquired from the Brockwell Estate by the London County Council in 1891, and later extended under the guiding hand of their Superintendent of Parks, Colonel J.J. Sexby, who added ponds, lakes, bandstand and walled garden. The park covers some 120 acres, including the popular lido. The hall now serves as the park's cafe (Image]).
