The Recreation Ground
Sir Joseph Hood was Deputy Chairman of the British and American Tobacco Company, MP for Wimbledon and also served as Mayor of Wimbledon. In 1921, he donated £11,000 to fund the creation of this recreation cround which was later renamed in his honour. He was knighted by King George V in 1922, and on 1st May 1926 he delivered the first bowl on the opening of the bowling green near to this cache location.
A quick loop around the rec ground is a nice stroll to compliment our nearby "Cannon HIll Wander" series, and a good excuse to grab an extra few caches.
