Forster Memorial Park, is a public park in London Borough of Lewisham. It is located between Bellingham Road and Whitefoot Lane, Catford – an area still referred to as Southend or Southend Village. The nearest stations are Bellingham and Beckenham Hill. ==History of the park== The land where the park now stands was donated by H.W. Forster, first MP for Bromley and later Governor General of Australia. The Forster family had lived at Southend Hall from the early 19th century (now demolished, but located near the junction of Bromley Road and Whitefoot Lane) and had a large estate covering what was then a rural outpost of London in the county of Kent. The land for the park was donated in memory of H.W. Forster’s two sons, Alfred and John Forster, who died in World War I, and was formally opened by his daughter in 1922. The park was expanded again in 1937, when further land to the north was bought from the Forster Estate Company.〔
