Don't know of one though I do seem to remember someone trying to organise a game of boules in the distant past. I have thought (and this is from memory) that the area in Dulwich Park where there is/was a sandy stretch between the grass and the road would be ok for boules. This would be on the far side of the park if you entered from Court Lane (I think it's called). Near where the crap tennis courts are as opposed to the newer ones.

I've played on the sandy stretch in Dulwich Park that AM refers to - it's ok, not perfect and you tend to get in the way of joggers and suchlike.


Brockwell Park has the huge redgra football pitch which we've adopted as our home turf and is a great terrain as it can vary quite a lot within the space of a few metres and so keeps you on top of your game...


Otherwise, there's Cleaver Square in Kennington, which although not the best quality terrain, has the bonus of a lovely pub and a lot of regular players.


Bermondsey Square also a has a purpose built strip of terrain, though only big enough for 1 game.


I seem to remember that The Dog had a piste in its garden some many years back, but this has long been replaced by tables and chairs.


Please post back if you find anywhere else.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
