Background
History
Deptford Park was originally a market garden belonging to the estate of the Evelyn family. Located near the River Thames, it was renowned for its onions, celery and asparagus. In 1884, London County Council bought the land for the creation of a public park. It was designed by the chief parks officer Lt Col J. J. Sexby and opened to the public in 1897.
