Bermondsey Spa Gardens

The 4.5-acre (18,000 m2) park, with improvements designed by the architects Broadway Malyan, is intended to act as a focal point for the surrounding area.

The £2 million redevelopment furnished the park with new lighting, signage, bins, paths, plants and play equipment.

On the Spa Road side is the former Bermondsey public library, a Grade II listed Victorian red-brick building from 1890, which has recently been restored.

On the Grange Road side is the Art Deco former Alaska fur factory, built by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners in 1932.
