Avery Hill Park — Attraction in London

Not visited this park for at least 20 years but today I went with my granddaughter and elderly mum. The playground was a joy for my granddaughter but because of the drizzly rain we went into the tea room...wow, what a terrific experience. Customer service at its best. The lovely couple running it were absolutely fabulous and made us feel more than welcome and nothing was too much. They made us feel at home and I've never been treated so kindly in a cafe/tearoom as much as today. They are marvellous hosts. The surrounding fields are a wonder for walkers and dog owners and lots of history is to be found. The huge 'greenhouse' is being renovated at the moment but will be amazing once opened. This is a truly wonderful local Eltham park which I shall visit...

A little oasis in the middle of Eltham. There's a lovely little swing park and a little cafe where you can get a coffee or ice-cream. There's a large circuit walk around the park and more importantly a path so you don't even have to get muddy. The only thing missing is a paddling pool which would be perfect for the summer. The winter garden is lovely and the children can see the goldfish. It's just a shame that they haven't utilised this fantastic building. It would be such a perfect place for a wedding venue or restaurant. Even so, it's well...

Loved discovering this park during a hike on the Green Chain route.

It includes a green House conservatory (closed off for refurbishment/restoration), cricket pitch, American football field, football pitches, basketball court, outdoor chess board, table tennis, cafe, outdoor gym and kids’ playground.

There were also listings for funfairs & other fun activities that the whole family could get involved with. So lots to choose from on a day out. The dog park was hard to identify so they roam free without leads, which is terrifying for...
