King George's Field, Rotherhithe
King George's Field is on the site of the church and churchyard of All Saints' Church. All Saints was built in 1840 and the churchyard opened in 1843 on land donated by the Lord of the Manor, Sir William Maynard Gomm, after whom nearby Gomm Road is named. The churchyard was in use until 1857 although the last recorded burial took place in 1888. All Saints was bombed during the Second World War, after which the parish was joined with that of St Mary Rotherhithe. Bermondsey Borough Council received a grant of £500 from the King George's Fields Foundation in order to procure the site after the War. The Foundation was set up as a memorial following the death of King George V in 1936, and provided funding for the creation or improvement of a great many playing fields before it was dissolved in 1965. Canada Water station is just the other side of the two tower blocks beyond the park.

Northbound platform, Canada Water station, Rotherhithe SE16
Passengers await a London Overground train north on the former East London Line, revitalised since its extension and incorporation into the Overground Network. Canada Water is an interchange with the deep Jubilee Line extension. I had changed here to travel on towards Clapham Junction on south London suburban lines. The journeys now made possible would once have been an ordeal by bus or car.
