Sydenham Garden (event 11 Dec)

SE23’s own local charity Sydenham Garden in Wynell Road is highlighted in an article about the therapeutic benefits of gardening.

I went to the open day on Saturday - it’s a great space with people doing great work.

not really Sydenham, it’s in Forest Hill, Perry Village …

I couldn’t find Perry Village on the map so guess I’ll have to miss it.

Even if ‘Perry Village’ existed (which it doesn’t) Sydenham Garden wouldn’t be in it.

It’s well worth a visit though - a lovely garden/wildlife area tucked away at the top of Wynell Road (off both Perry Vale and Mayow Road).

Here is The Map, look carefully:

not conclusive I suppose , but Sydenham Garden is under 400m walking distance from the hypothetical village centre.
It is I agree a lovely place, and I encourage anyone to have a look and support their work which I was involved in in its early years.
