Camberwell

South London district

Camberwell is a district in south London, part of the borough of Southwark.

It lends its name to the Camberwell beauty, a large butterfly with dark wings edged in cream, so called because early British specimens were found there.

She grew up in Camberwell.

We spotted a Camberwell beauty in the garden.
