Grove Park is a small suburban town and electoral ward in the south-eastern corner of the London Borough of Lewisham. Early development grew up around Grove Park railway station in the 19th century, though there has been settlments located here since Celtic times. Much of it consists of a housing estate built by the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham in the 1920s. A workhouse was built in the area in 1902. After use by the Army during the First World War it became Grove Park hospital, which has now been redeveloped as a housing estate. There are a small number of public parks in the area, the largest of which is Chinbrook Meadows to the east between Grove Park centre and Chinbrook.
