Denmark Hill is a area and road in South London located between Camberwell and East Dulwich in the London Borough of Southwark.
The area is home of the Maudsley Hospital [1] and Kings College [2] Hospital. Denmark Hill railway station has services to London Blackfriars, London Bridge, and London Victoria.
The Salvation Army's William Booth Memorial Training College on Champion Park, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, was completed in 1932: it towers over South London. It has a similar monumental impressiveness to Gilbert Scott's other South London buildings, Battersea Power Station and the Tate Modern, although its simplicity is partly the result of repeated budget cuts during its construction: much more detail, including carved Gothic stonework surrounding the windows, was originally planned.
Famous residents include Jeremy Bowen
