Brockwell Park is a 128.5 acre (0.5 km²) park located in Herne Hill, bordered by Brixton Water Lane, Norwood Road, and Dulwich Road in South London. The park is home to the Brockwell Lido, an open air swimming pool, some duck ponds, a cafe, a bowling green, a BMX track, a play ground, a one o'clock club, a walled garden, tennis courts, football pitches, paddling pool, and children's miniature train ride. It is home to the annual Lambeth Country Show. The park also commands great views of the skyline of the The City and Central London. At the top of the hill that is in the park stands Brockwell Hall. The grand house was originally built between 1811-1813 when the area was part of Surrey and was the country seat of glass merchant John Blades Esq. The land and house was acquired by the London County Council for public use in March 1891. In 1899 the LCC acquired a further 43 acres of land north of the original park, so the park now borders Dulwich Road. In the 1920s, there were 13 cricket pitches in the park, which attracted crowds of up to 1,500.

The area covered by the park was cultivated land, part of the Clapham and Stockwell manors until it was developed in the first half of the 19th century.
However, in 1971 the implementation of Larkhall Park was transferred from the GLC to Lambeth Council.
And Larkhall Lane was to be the south eastern boundary of the Park.
