Watch the birdy

With a name like Chumleigh Gardens, you'd think that the botanical bliss is situated somewhere like Kensington rather than at the heart of Burgess Park, just down the road form Camberwell.

The Aylesbury Estate may be an aesthetically pleasing form of urban architecture, but a step into a tropical garden it 'aint.

Which is where Chumleigh Gardens comes in.

Boasting banana plants, bamboo shoots and fig trees, Chumleigh Gardens is the setting for many a lost South London summer afternoon. Or just a skive out of the classroom.

The morning trip was marvellous, although a visit again in the afternoon may have been a touch too much; the perils of working with two classes. Still, beats double algebra I suppose.
