Belair Park maybe small but it's Southwark's only Grade II* listed landscape and includes an artificial lake - a dammed part of the ancient river Effra - as well as several listed structures.
These protected structures include the park lodge, stable block and entrance gate. Belair House - now Beauberry House restaurant - was built in 1785 in the style of, or possibly by, the architect Robert Adam. Since 1965, when Belair became a public park, the area has been providing local people with a place to stretch their legs, exercise the kids and get away from the concrete of the city.
Facilities for Belair Park include four tennis courts (just turn up and play), a skate park, play area (for children aged 2 to 10), lake, football and cricket pitches and a conservation area next to the lake in front of Beauberry House which, if you're looking for somewhere special to eat, is highly recommended.
There are two entrances to Belair Park- via gates at the corner of Gallery Road, or at Thurlow Park Road near West Dulwich Railway Station.
