There's one in Albion Millennium Green in Forest Hill - a lovely, tucked away scrap of woodland by the railway.

That’s supposed to be on my list but I somehow omitted it, sorry.

South of the River seems as ill-served by labyriths as it is by the "tube" network! And the last time I went to Ruskin Park I'm sure the bowling green was still a bowling green.

There’s also a tiny but charming labyrinth in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin in Mortlake - see here.

I love these, a family friend decided to build one in their garden, although rural Lincolnshire doesn't qualify for your list!

I have long understood that these labyrinths (or the principle of them!) date back to medieval times for something called the 'Jerusalem Mile' for religious folk who couldn't take a pilgrimage to that city. Instead they symbolically walked the distance (or a nominal equivalent) along their nearest labyrinth.

At the age of 5 or six, I used to enjoy building a labyrinth in the back room, by rearranging the furniture. Great fun. I called it a wiggly way.

Not on your list, because not in London, is the courtyard maze at Kentwell Hall which you blogged in 2012. Sadly the picture link to the maze is broken.

Hopefully will be open again this May for day trippers. The manor would very much welcome visitors on either the May Day weekend or the multi-period weekend on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend.
DG:We may, or may not, have unknowingly met each other on May Day 2012, each in our own persona. I would need to check my diary as I haven't done every May Day in the past 20 years. (I am also anonymously described in Tim Moore's book "I believe in Yesterday")

Glade Lane Canalside Park in Southall has a labyrinth in one of its fields. Ealing council refer to it as a Celtic 'turf maze' lol.

calkhead - the Tube has been described as an intricate labyrinth of passageways, connected by short lengths of railway line. And each Tube station now has its own decorative labyrinth on display.

Of the ones on DG's list, Idon't think I've been to any - but I have been to the original one on St Agnes. Maybe I should explore closer to home more!

There’s a labyrinth in the churchyard of St Nicholas, Deptford Green (or was when I went there, a couple of years ago).

Not in London so not missing from the list, but it is served by the Overground: Cedars Park in Cheshunt.
Quite a few websites including the councils call it a maze, but having walked the full length I'm sure it's a labyrinth based on Ian Visits explanation of the difference. It's also listed here.

There's also this Mirror labyrinth:

However, it's not a labyrinth.
