Camberwell Travel Guide
Researched, written and designed by local residents in 2012 with support from the HLF.
In this guide you’ll find beautiful parks, wonderful cakes, elegant clothing, intoxicating drinks and excellent coffee - as well as an internationally renowned art college. There are galleries, ghosts, a graveyard, a Turkish spa, a Greek Cathedral and Britain’s first purpose built mental health hospital.
Robert Browning was born here, Michael Caine grew up here, Charlie Chaplin worked here, Dan Leno was detained here and John Ruskin left in disgust when the railways ruined his view.
