About

Champion Hill is a residential ward in the Dulwich area of Southwark. It is primarily characterised by quiet, tree-lined streets and a mix of housing, including Victorian terraces and larger detached homes. The area is anchored by educational institutions like King's College Hospital and the University of London's halls of residence. Local amenities are focused around the Denmark Hill railway station, which provides transport links.

The green space of Ruskin Park serves as a central recreational area for the community. The ward is also home to the historic Champion Hill stadium, the home ground of Dulwich Hamlet Football Club.
