MONTPELIER TEA GARDENS, WALWORTH

These gardens, attached to the Montpelier House tavern, came into existence in the later years of the eighteenth century. . . . In the first thirty years of the nineteenth century the place had considerable local reputation as a tea-garden, and was noted for its maze. It did not become extinct till the end of the fifties. . . . The gardens were to the West of the present Walworth Road, a little to the south-west of Princes Street. The Montpelier tavern and the Walworth Palace of Varieties (No.18 Montpelier Street) is on part of the site.
