Camberwell
Area of South East London
About
Camberwell ( KAM-bər-wel) is an area of South London, England, in the London Borough of Southwark, 2.75 miles (4.5 kilometres) southeast of Charing Cross.
Camberwell was first a village associated with the church of St Giles and a common of which Goose Green is a remnant. This early parish included the neighbouring hamlets of Peckham, Dulwich, Nunhead, and part of Herne Hill (the rest of Herne Hill was in the parish of Lambeth). Until 1889, it was part of the county of Surrey. In 1900 the original parish became the Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell.
