Lamorbey Park

Lamorbey Park is a Grade II listed estate centered on a Georgian mansion situated within approximately 57 hectares of grounds. The landscape includes a substantial lake, areas of mature woodland, and formal gardens that surround the main building.

The estate was first recorded as owned by Thomas Sparrow in 1495, and was significantly rebuilt in 1744 by William Steele, a director of the East India Company. This reconstruction gave the property its present Georgian character.

The grounds host multiple educational institutions and serve as a venue for community gatherings and activities throughout the year. This role has transformed the estate into a shared space for the local area.

Walking paths wind through the grounds, and fishing is available at the lake through local angling clubs. The nearby Sidcup station provides convenient public transport access to the site.

The lake was originally built as a swimming pool during the 1920s but has gradually transformed into a natural water body over the decades. It now supports a range of fish species, including eels that thrive in the evolved ecosystem.
