Walworth Common in Surrey was a cricket venue known to have been used in the 18th century.[1][2] There are no records of matches on the common after 1732 but a later venue in the area was Aram's New Ground, also known as the Bee Hive Ground, the home of Montpelier Cricket Club from 1796.

In June 1743 a game was played between a team from Bermondsey and one from Deptford & the King's Yard. F. S. Ashley-Cooper explained that Walworth Common was situated where Westmoreland Road, Faraday Street and Mann Street stood in 1900. He said the ground was "about three-quarters of a mile from where Montpelier Cricket Club's Bee Hive Ground afterwards existed".[3]
