Quirky London 16: The Camberwell Submarine

Posted on 16 February 20102 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley


Where is it? Akerman Rd, between Myatts Fields and Mostyn Gardens, Camberwell.

What’s quirky about it? It’s just the protrusion into our universe of a boiler room thing below the road, but it looks just like a submarine. They should paint it seakelp green, and put a periscope on it. Actually, inside it looks pretty much like a sub too, only without the sweaty sailors desperate for a fag stop.

Why bike there? Myatts Fields is quite a nice little park and has a large scale map of the world you can walk around, though its geographic accuracy is open to question. You’re not far from Kennington Park (with a nice little cafe) or Brixton.
