Where do South London locals go?

Norwood Grove House

Norwood Grove House

Known locally as the "White House", Norwood Grove House and its well-tended formal gardens were opened in 1926 by the future King Edward VIII. It is the centrepiece of Norwood Grove itself; a large expanse of grass from which you can overlook Streatham and its surrounding areas. It is thoroughly underutilised and all the better for it!

Cream's

Cream's

Classic hot and cold desserts, milkshakes and gelato served in a low-lit, purple and black setting.

The Conquering Hero

The Conquering Hero

Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

Blue and Orange

Blue and Orange

A great restaurant - it's definitely my favourite in Thornton Heath!

The Rookery

The Rookery

A walled garden that would not look out of place in a BBC costume drama. Stunning throughout the year and still relatively undiscovered by the residents of South London. The gardens are beautifully maintained by a justifiably proud set of volunteers.

Hideaway

Hideaway

The best live music venue in South London.

Four Hundred Rabbits

This lovely quirky bar is quiet mid-week for a lovely intimate meal or catch up. And lively on the weekend with a lovely band. Good atmosphere. Rustic style.

Honest Burgers

Awesome place for a burger and definitely some of the best in London.

Putt in the Park

A fun day out playing crazy golf in Wandsworth Park.

A beautiful mock-Tudor-style pub with a beer garden, patio, cask ales and pool table.

Coffee Craft

An excellent recently opened coffee shop in South Norwood with a relaxed atmosphere, serving brilliant coffee, cakes and lunch.

Why not explore the nearby areas of Norbury, Thornton Heath, Norwood, Streatham, West Norwood, Crystal Palace, Mitcham, Croydon, Upper Sydenham and Streatham Hill

"Crystal Palace F.C. holds the record for the most relegations in the Premier League and subsequently the most promotions in the play-offs."

Streatham Common is the perfect place to hang out when the sun is shining.

Stephanie Kele

St Luke's Church, West Norwood was built in the early 19th century and sits at the top of Norwood High Street.

Stephanie Kele

A mixture of independent and high street shops line Streatham High Road, which has seen great development over the past few years.
