The upkeep of the bowling green became an intolerable burden on the public purse some three years ago, after which it was formally abandoned.
There were once hopes that the site might serve as a thrilling new mini-golf destination, attracting free-spending Clapham crowds to down-at-heel Herne Hill. But though those hopes may still smoulder, it looks like that's all they've done.
We walked from Sydenham to Brockwell Park during lockdown. We lazily take the train to HH nowadays. The secret garden is a very special place so I guess we should keep it secret - ooops!
