Thanks for watching it!

Video is only showing you the part of vacant ground where the clubhouse thing was though. Rest of the park is reasonably well kept these days, however, I have noticed that the local "Cumbie" gang have been defacing the model boat house and they have covered the back of it in their scrawl.

I remember an elderly guy told me that a pub was going to be built on the far side of the park, across the road from Shawfield there? Any idea if that it is still good to go?

I'd probably avoid that old clubhouse thing I was talking about. Guy in the picture and his alchie mates all seem to be sleeping at the back of it. I wandered in and that guy you see there just bounded out to me and asked what I was doing there.

I was recording a video when he popped out. Just a screenshot of it.

Honestly. It's like The Mummy's Curse or something.

Do you have to take an armed support unit with you when you nip out to the corner shop?

Yes I do. It's a bastard to organise at short notice.

Yeah, most of it is dodgy. Shawfield Industrial Estate next to it is REALLY dodgy for contaminants.

I just want to point out that it's fantastic that the park is within greater London, looks like it couldn't possibly be! I absolutely adore this Park!
