Directions
Getting here
On foot: 12 park gates provide access from most directions - marked in Green on the map. Please note, since November 2024 (as a cost-saving measure by Lambeth council) the park gates are no longer locked at night - so the park remains open 24 hours. Please be vigilant if entering the park after dusk as it is not lit.
Buses : 2, 3, 37, 68, 196, 201, 322, 415, 432, 468

Around the park
Brockwell Park has a varied landscape with a mix of flat and hilly areas. The highest spot of all is around Brockwell Hall (on our map, the higher parts of the park are tinted mid- green, while flatter parts are pale green).
Two of the flatter walking routes are indicated by coloured lines on the map as ‘Stroll A’ (pink) and ‘Stroll B’ (yellow). There are formal areas set aside for organised sport and play, plus wilder, more natural areas with rough grass, woodland edge and fallen logs (circled in dark green).
Water fountains are dotted around the park and there are two cafes – at Brockwell Hall and the Lido
Toilets
There are toilets, including disabled access ones, at Brockwell Hall and near the BMX track and playground. Brockwell Hall now has a new toilet block to the left of the entrance to the café which has two toilets.
Also (for children and their carers) there are facilities inside the main playground area. There are additional toilets (not disabled access) outside the Walled Garden
