Burgess Park is a large park in South Central London that was built in the second half of the 20th century on previously built up land. It is in the London Borough of Southwark , bordered by Bermondsey, Camberwell, Walworth and Peckham. It stretches from the Old Kent Road to the Walworth Road, and from Albany Road to St George's Way, with a green route leading to central Peckham.

The planed cross river tram, which will run from Peckham and Brixton in South London via Waterloo to Camden and King's Cross in North London will cross Burgess Park. The Friends of Burgess Park support a tram for South London, but are extremely concerned that the chosen route will do huge damage to the park by bisecting it at its widest point, with ballasted track that looks like a railway line. This will greatly reduce the amenity value of the park. We are campaigning for the tram route to make use of existing transport infrastructure through the park, just as it does elsewhere on the route.
