Green London: Winter Walk in Beckenham Place Park
I love going on walks in the great outdoors in the days between Christmas and New Year. I took these photos at Beckenham Place Park, which is a huge green space in the Borough of Lewisham in South East London, although it takes its name from a village on the borders of Kent.
The park includes areas of ancient woodland, meadows, a lake, and sustainable gardens. There are several walking routes to enjoy, including part of South East London’s Capital Ring and Green Chain Walk, which are clearly signposted. The River Ravensbourne runs along the eastern edge too.
A Palladian-style mansion in the grounds is a community hub that offers lots of events and workshops, including Mind, Body, Spirit and crafting activities. You can find out the details here. An old stableyard has been turned into a lovely cafe too. The park hosts fairs and festivals as well. At the moment there’s a winter funfair and skating rink. If, like me, you want to avoid the commercialism of a funfair, the park is large enough that you can get well away from it and simply enjoy being in nature. As the sign in the picture below suggests:
- Leave your headphones in your pocket
- Allow yourself time in nature
- Slow your pace
- Look at the base of a tree then follow the trunk skywards
- Gaze at the leaves framing the clouds (or bare branches at this time of year)
- Look for the bird that owns the song
- See the beautiful, question the unusual
- Allow curiosity, fascination, and wonder to take hold
- Actively connect to nature, it’s good for you

Green London
I’ve been blogging regularly about London’s green spaces in an effort to dispel a prevalent myth in the pagan community that it’s just all concrete. Even in the City, which is of course heavily built up, there are still places where nature thrives, while Greater London has huge areas of woods, commons, parks and beautiful gardens.
The pictures on this post were all taken by me. Please do not use them without my permission.
