Everyone is welcome to the park, to discover its history, wildlife, trees and plants, to exercise and play. Myatt’s Fields Park should be an urban park of the highest quality which preserves its historic character while providing a safe, peaceful and varied environment for relaxation and recreation, and enhancing the wellbeing of all sections of the community Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park” 2 Myatt’s Fields Park Management Plan 2016 - 2021 Foreword In Lambeth we have over 60 parks, commons, cemeteries and other open spaces, which enrich all of our lives and make Lambeth a better place to live, visit, and work. From major and local events, casual and competitive sports, reflection and contemplation, through to outdoor play spaces for children, we know that parks and open spaces are necessities in the modern world. Lambeth’s open spaces have experienced a renaissance in recent years, and we have seen our many active parks groups rise to become champions for green spaces, including exploring new models in how to manage and maintain them. We now have 16 Green Flag Award winning parks and cemeteries, the highest number we’ve ever had, and the latest Residents Survey revealed 76% of local people judged Lambeth’s parks and open spaces to be good or excellent.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

  • The Guthrie Wing, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London
    The Guthrie Wing, King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS Based in London, King’s College Hospital is a prestigious international teaching hospital with a long history of clinical excellence. Since its foundation in 1840 it has been associated with the advancement of medical science and patient care across many specialties. King’s International provides access to the exceptional clinical services available at the hospital to both private and overseas patients through dedicated facilities. King's International is the private patient service of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and most of the private facilities are housed in an attractive Art Deco building, called the Guthrie Wing. How to find the Guthrie Wing The Guthrie Wing is a stand-alone Art Deco building on the main hospital campus. The main entrance is on Denmark Hill – just up the hill from the Accident & Emergency Department (it is marked in pink on the attached map). How to find King’s College Hospital King’s is in Camberwell, South London. Parking in the area is limited, so you may wish to consider using taxis or public transport. Taxi If you are arriving by taxi, most reliable taxi drivers will know the hospital, but you can tell the driver it is on Denmark Hill and the postcode is SE5 9RS. Taxis can drop you off outside the front door of the Guthrie Building without driving in to the main hospital campus. When you are leaving the hospital, there is a taxi rank outside the main hospital and free phones to book taxis at the main entrance.
