A short history of SE5

The Domesday Book records Camberwell as a settlement with a parish church held by Haimo the Sheriff of Kent, with assets of six hides and one virgate. Wilson's School was founded there in 1615 by Edward Wilson the vicar under a charter from James I. Denmark Hill is said to be named after Prince George of Denmark, who hunted there and a map of 1786 still shows it as Dulwich Hill. Londoners visited Camberwell until the mid-19th century for its reputed healing mineral springs. The railways of the 1860s changed the area. Camberwell became a Metropolitan Borough in 1900 and Giles Gilbert Scott's William Booth Memorial Training College was completed in 1932.
