Mountsfield Park London SE6
Mountsfield Park: The park was originally part of a house and grounds belonging to Henry Tibbats Stainton. It was bequeathed by his widow in 1903 and became a public park in 1905. Amenities include a play area, tennis courts and a bandstand. It’s on a hill, so you get great views over Catford and Crystal Palace. The People’s Day Festival is held in the park every year.

Hanging Out At Catford Mews London SE6
Catford Cat: The giant fibreglass black and white cat is sat on top of the entrance to the Catford Centre (shopping area). It was built in 1974 and has been threatened with demolition but has managed escaped the threats. The Catford Cat does have nine lives! On a wall, close by is a street art mouse saying “Please Don’t Tell The Giant Cat I’m Here” which is quite humorous. Owen Luder was the Catford Centre Brutalist architect, and he designed other buildings in the area including Eros House.
