Time Out says

Accessed via the Old Kent Road, Walworth Road, and Camberwell, Burgess Park is one of the two major parks that bookend Peckham – the other being Peckham Rye –  and, on balance, is probably a bit more action-packed than its compatriot. Facilities include a BMX park, tennis courts, and a park-run track for weekly timed runs, while you’ll often see roller bladers gliding about its paths. It occasionally hosts open-air film screenings in the summer, as well as several festivals, the largest of which are Maiden Voyage and the Jazz Cafe Festival.

Offside Festival

Footie tournaments and music festivals are two of the best things about summer, so Offside sounds like a genius idea to us. Billed as ‘London’s first football and music festival’, the one-dayer in Burgess Park is promising fans of the beautiful game a unique combination of music, comedy and a star-filled roster of speakers that will leave you more excited than ever for the coming season. Expect live recordings of some of the most popular footie podcasts out there, conversations with Premier League stars and appearances from some legends of the game, merch and giveaways, alongside seven bars, loads of great street food, DJs and live acts. Earlybird tickets are an absolute steal at £15, so nab yours quick! Line-up includes: Jill Scott, Sam Allardyce, Pete Tong presents El Clasico
