The best Thai restaurant with always fresh produce, taste buds will be working overtime as each mouthful gives you more to think about. A truly unique experience!!!

Babur

Babur

Incredible Indian cuisine (and cocktails!) Hailed by Hardens, and impressive enough to rival anything in central London.

Horniman Museum and Gardens

A quirky, free, family-friendly museum and gardens.

Le Querce

Le Querce

The finest Italian restaurant I have ever been to, with a varied and fresh menu that caters for everyone from meat eaters to vegans and all in between without seeming to try! I book for anniversaries, birthdays, visits from friends - any excuse to attend the best restaurant I know of. It may not look particularly salubrious, but it is child-friendly by day and romantically candle-lit by night. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

The Signal Pub

They are really invested in the community and host a wonderful night called Featured in Fifteen which is an amazing night curated bi-monthly.

East Dulwich Picturehouse and Café

East Dulwich Picturehouse and Café

This small cinema serves everything from cakes to meals, cocktails to coffee and screens small independent films alongside Hollywood blockbusters. There are even reclining seats and 'love seats' if that's what you'd prefer...

Why not explore the nearby areas of Forest Hill, East Dulwich, Upper Sydenham, Catford, Sydenham, Peckham Rye, Lower Sydenham, Nunhead, Dulwich and Lewisham

"In 1602 Elizabeth I picnicked with Sir Richard Bulkeley by an oak tree at the summit of a tree in Lewisham. It became known as the Oak of Honor, which is where the name Honor Oak derives from."

Forest Hill's elevation ensures outstanding views towards the centre of the capital!

Jennifer Purchase

The independent shops and cafes and charming period properties make East Dulwich the perfect place to set up home.

SE23 quote

Michael Schult

In the heart of Dulwich, Dulwich Park is beautiful on a sunny evening, either walking the dog or taking a leisurely stroll...
