Evelyn Grace Academy, Shakespeare Road
A swanky addition to the area, and the first English project of the eminent architect Zaha Hadid, in 2006-10.
Academies are a hybrid - state-maintained but funded largely by other sources - and controversial because of those other funding sources and because they are outside local authority control.
Update: in October 2011 this building won the most prestigious architectural award, the Royal Institute of British Architects' Stirling Prize.

St John's Hall, Heron Road
Located on the junction of Heron Road (on the right) and Lowden Road. The building is a late Victorian hall (built about 1880) of traditional brick construction under a pitched slate roof. Although never consecrated, the building was used for worship until 1981, and was originally known as Camberwell St John's Mission. It was able to seat 300 people. The hall was used as a Community Centre from 1990. More recently it has been occupied by a children's nursery. The hall is currently for sale, and is likely to be improved and converted for community use.

Milkwood Community Park
Viewed from an entrance from Heron Road. The facilities and features of the park include: children's playground, 5-a-side football pitch, basketball court, quiet area, trim trail, wildlife areas, and amphitheatre. Since 2003, over £500,000 has been invested to date to enable the park to offer local people of all ages and interests with a wide range of facilities for play, sport and social relaxation. In 2006 the park became Lambeth's first Green Flag Award site.
