Dialling code: 020 (London)

Myatt's Fields is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Lambeth, in south London, centred on the Victorian-era green of Myatt's Fields Park. The park, laid out in the late 19th century by pioneering landscape gardener Fanny Wilkinson and named after the Myatt family of market gardeners, forms a focal point for the ward and contributes a strong sense of local identity.

The ward mixes handsome Victorian terraces and period villas with post‑war council housing, giving it a socially and economically diverse character that has attracted artists, community groups and small independent businesses in recent years. Close to neighbouring districts such as Brixton and Camberwell, it has an active local politics and conservation scene, lively community events around the park and ongoing debates about development and gentrification.
