Camberwells

Camberwells is a term that can refer to several things, primarily a district in South London, England, and also a type of cheese.

The district of Camberwell is located in the London Borough of Southwark. It is known for its diverse community, vibrant arts scene, and notable Victorian architecture. Camberwell Grove is a particularly well-preserved street featuring grand Georgian and Victorian houses. The area is home to the Camberwell College of Arts, part of the University of the Arts London, which contributes significantly to its artistic reputation. Camberwell Green is a central public space and a focal point for local activities. Transport links include numerous bus routes and Denmark Hill railway station, providing access to central London and beyond.

In the culinary world, Camembert is a type of soft, creamy cheese originating from Normandy, France. It is made from cow's milk and is typically eaten when ripe, often baked or served at room temperature. While often colloquially shortened to "Camberwells" by some, this is not its official name. The cheese has a distinctive bloomy rind and a rich, buttery flavor.

The usage of "Camberwells" is therefore context-dependent, most commonly referring to the London district, but occasionally being an informal or mistaken reference to Camembert cheese.
