Camberwell residents now gather at Ruskin Park on Denmark Hill for 5:45am yoga classes that start the day with quiet movement under open skies.

Longer summer mornings have drawn more people outdoors after months of indoor routines. Southwark Council recorded a 38 percent rise in early park permits issued between March and June this year compared with the same period in 2025.

Two sites stand out. Ruskin Park offers flat grass near the Denmark Hill entrance where the Camberwell Meditation Group leads 45-minute sessions every weekday. Myatt’s Fields Park on Knatchbull Road hosts a separate program run by the Southwark Outdoor Fitness Scheme, which supplies mats and blocks for participants who register through the council website.

The Southwark Outdoor Fitness Scheme charges £10 per drop-in class and lists 620 registered users for its July schedule. A council report from April showed that 214 people attended sunrise events across both parks in the first quarter of 2026, up from 119 the previous year.

Getting started

Arrive by 5:30am to secure a spot on the east-facing slope at Ruskin Park, where the first light hits the grass. Bring a mat and layers, since temperatures sit around 14 degrees at that hour. The Camberwell Meditation Group posts weekly updates on its noticeboard at the park gate and accepts cash or card on site.

Walkers can reach Myatt’s Fields Park via the path from Camberwell New Road in under ten minutes from the nearest bus stop. Sessions there finish by 6:45am, leaving time for a short walk along the perimeter before work begins.

Next steps

Check the Southwark Council events calendar each Friday for any weather-related changes. New participants can sign up at the park entrance or through the council’s online portal before the next session begins.
