Quite a small rectangle of grass, some trees (mostly planes) and a playground, bounded by Dassett Road (N), Tivoli Road (E), Furneaux Avenue (S) and Knight's Hill (W). A Lambeth Council sign records that it was formed from part of the grounds of Holderness House, built in 1839 and demolished in 1919. The Norwood Society has some gossip: apparently it was so ugly that the owner of Portobello House opposite planted a belt of evergreen trees to hide it from his view. The Crystal Palace television mast soars in the distance.
