The Japanese Garden in Peckham Rye Park is a hidden gem and an absolute oasis of tranquility in the heart of South London. As soon as you step into the garden, you’re transported to a serene and picturesque space, surrounded by beautifully landscaped features inspired by traditional Japanese design. The stone lanterns, curved bridges, and flowing water features create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or reflecting. The carefully arranged plants and trees, especially during spring when the cherry blossoms bloom, add a stunning burst of color to the scenery. It’s a lovely spot for a quiet stroll, a moment of meditation, or even just sitting on a bench and taking in the view. The garden is well-maintained and feels like a calm retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you’re a nature lover, a fan of Japanese aesthetics, or just looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, the Japanese Garden is well worth a visit. Highly recommended if you’re in Peckham or nearby!

Gorgeous Squirrel and BlueJay feeding area. Amazing plants and scenery, lovley ponds and rivers. Only shame is the blatant people who don't put dogs on leads and let them ruin the hard work of the gardeners. Great spots to sit in and enjoy nature

I love finding lovely little green gardens like this, in the midst of a large park or common. Very secluded and the gardeners do their best to keep it looking beautiful. Peckham Rye has something for everyone. We even saw a Heron!

This was the very best place to have a walk. The flowers are beautiful in the spring and the ponds are always lively.

Absolutely beautiful. Cycled here on a rainy day and it was just amazing. Picturesque. Would recommend.
