Knight's Hill remained undeveloped until the Peabody Trust extended their Rosendale Road estate during the 1970s by building a series of residential blocks on the very top. The land had long been owned by the Knight family, but was bought in sections by the American banker and philanthropist George Peabody during the late 19th century. The original estate was built at this time. The railway line between North Dulwich and Tulse Hill dating from 1868 passes through a tunnel under the hill. Knight's Hill is also sometimes known as Peabody Hill to avoid confusion with the Knights Hill at West Norwood. This view looks across to the spire of Holy Trinity Church on Trinity Rise.

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]).

Just inside the park near one of the gate lodges. Good to see someone is watering the flowers as there is a drought and everything else is a bit parched. There is an event in the park today and most of it is fenced off, as in the background here.
