Dartmouth Park geography / climate

Land use and housing

Dartmouth Park has a relative (inherently housing-related) emphasis on housing those with middle-to-higher incomes and, by Inner London standards, the retired. Housing is predominantly detached, terraced and semi-detached houses, late Victorian and Edwardian mansion flats.

Parks

Dartmouth Park was laid out on the edge of the reservoirs and opened to the public in 1972. It has an enclosed seating area surrounded by a hedge, which local children helped to plant in 1991. The park hosted one of the beacons lit nationwide to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday.

Landmarks

The Anglican church is St Mary Brookfield, designed by William Butterfield and opened in 1875. It is red brick with contrasting yellow and blue brick patterns. The street named York Rise, bisects the district, forming a gentle vale.
