Myatt’s Fields Park
I was recently in touch with Gillian Billington who wrote a book on London’s Parks and Gardens. She had said that Myatt’s Fields Park was a lost garden and had once been in Clerkenwell. Not so, I told her, it’s thriving in Camberwell and my community group was awarded £5M from a variety of sources for its restoration.
If you’d like to know more please go to our website www.myattsfieldspark.info. Designed by Fanny Wilkinson, the first professional landscape gardeners. If you know more than is contained on our website of its history, or want to know more, please get in touch.

i am a descendant of joseph myatt very interested in the goings on at myatts fields it sounds brilliant what you are doing there any information you might have about the strawberry fair held there would be most interesting thanks
Dear Eva Myatt, please do get in touch. We’re holding our midsummer fair on 19th June (1-5pm.) this year. As well as community stalls, children’s entertainment, music on our bandstand, dance displays and a small fairground, we hope to have a whole section of the fair focused on Incredible Edible Lambeth.
This will celebrate the park’s history as a market garden and also focus on all the fantastic work being done in Lambeth by gardeners and cooks to produce high quality food. Stuart Clode is quite right, Myatt’s Fields Park is a living, thriving park. Lindsay Avebury, Chair, Myatt’s Fields Park Project Group, 26 Flodden Road, SE5 9LH (nowhere near Clerkenwell!)

@ Yvonne,
