Grove Park
Lewisham, London
Grove Park sits on the south-east edge of Lewisham, running along the Chislehurst railway cutting and the Quaggy floodplain. The character is inter-war suburban, entirely within a conservation area, with Chinbrook Meadows and connecting corridors giving a rural feel. Two Grade II listed items — a drinking trough and a K2 telephone kiosk at Burnt Ash Hill — are the ward's modest anchors. Chinbrook Meadows at almost eleven hectares is the largest open space, and total green cover is over thirty hectares. Six outstanding schools lie within reach. Non-food venue count is unusually high at 177, suggesting a busy parade of small businesses. The drawbacks: heritage texture is very thin with only two listed items despite the conservation area; public transport is only moderate, with Grove Park station on the mainline to Charing Cross but no tube; and only six outstanding schools — low for inner south London — are in reach.
