It may be located at the very heart of London but Southwark is full of interesting parks, tranquil gardens, riverside walks and top-class sporting facilities.
A remarkable 25% of Southwark is open space, including the cultured Dulwich Park, the popular Russia Dock Woodlands and the verdant Nunhead Cemetery with its surreal atmosphere.
The best way of taking exercise in Southwark is walking and cycling along the many waymarked routes, especially along the south bank of the Thames, where you can view our many unrivalled tourist attractions and the sights of London. For serious sportsmen and sportswomen the borough contains a host of specialist facilities and venues.
