Parks and open spaces - opening and closing times

Year-round opening and closing times for Lambeth’s parks and open spaces.

Lambeth contains over 78 parks, commons and other public open spaces. 

All of our parks and open spaces are closed at night throughout the year, including at weekends and Bank Holidays. 

Official closing times are normally 15 minutes before dusk and will therefore vary throughout the year. Sites are open much later during the summer months than they would be during winter.

Please note: the gardens at the Streatham Rookery close 30 minutes before dusk or earlier in inclement weather. Please check online at Google by typing in 'The Rookery Streatham' for the current closing times.  

Please refer to our official closing times to ensure you have plenty of time to leave the site.

This table will be updated regularly throughout the year.

Please note that British Summer Time (BST) ends at midnight on Saturday 26th October, and closing times will go back one hour as of Sunday 27th October.
