Southwark: Paragon Gardens
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 29 Apr 2019
Paragon Gardens is a long narrow green space on the south side of the New Kent Road. It was named after The Paragon, a terrace of 15 large houses built in the form of a crescent and separated from the New Kent Road by a similarly crescent-shaped communal garden. The large houses have long since been demolished, and the shape of the original garden has been partially lost by the construction of the Bricklayers Arms roundabout. The gardens were however extended to the west here when the original housing terrace on the south side of the New Kent Road was demolished post-war.
