UK - London - Addington Square in Walworth SE5

Addington Square, a Georgian and Regency garden square in Camberwell in the London Borough of Southwar, named after prime minister, Henry Addington. We see a wide landscape of this well-known square that has survived world wars intact. Addington Square is unusually well preserved, and a conservation area with the houses that make up the east, south and west sides of the square listed Grade II. Because three sides of the square back onto Burgess Park and there is no through traffic, it is a peaceful space popular with lunchtime office workers. This controlled access, period buildings and proximity to central London also make it popular with film crews. In the 1960s the square was notorious as the base of the Richardson Gang, a south London rival to the Kray twins gangsters.
