Lorrimore Square

Lorrimore Square spans 1.5 acres with four sections including a church, enclosed garden, public playground, and basketball court surrounded by residential buildings.

The square's name evolved from 'Lower Moor' as shown in a 1681 map of Walworth, where the area was part of a broader common called 'Lattam-more'.

The square functions as a central gathering place where local residents participate in community events, sports activities, and recreational pursuits throughout the year.

Located 500 meters southeast of Kennington tube station, the square includes St Paul's Church with an integrated drop-in center and multiple recreational facilities.

The square presents an architectural contrast with classical four-story buildings on one side and late twentieth-century apartment rows on the remaining sides.
