Introduction

Sitting on the South Circular at the junction of Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common, The Grove began in 2010 as a DIY effort to reclaim a disused pub car park - now a thriving skatespot and community space open to all.

The layout has evolved constantly, with features built, reworked, and expanded over the years. Check out the full spread below (or in the model above). The standout pieces are the corner bowl and spine, alongside a newer 10ft quarter with an archway.

It’s an exceptional DIY spot: endlessly inventive, packed with variety, and a real testament to the people who keep it alive.
