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!

The Conquering Hero

The Conquering Hero

Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

Grangewood Park

Grangewood Park

Yet another great park in SE25 - a hidden gem.

The Railway Pub

The Railway Pub

Best pub quiz on a Tuesday night!!

The Bull

The Bull

This gastropub next to Streatham Common is fantastic! The décor is really cool, there's an impressive outdoor seating area with fires and the food is outstanding.

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre

Located in the heart of Streatham it is the hub of the community. This comunity centre is a multi-facility location with London's only Olympic size ice rink.

Le Tour de France

Le Tour de France

The best fresh coffee, croissants and bread. Lovely family-owned independent. Get there early for their bread and croissants - they sell out fast.

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.

Cut the Mustard

Cut the Mustard

Friendly! Lovely and good coffee.

South Norwood Lake and Grounds

South Norwood Lake and Grounds

Feeding the ducks on South Norwood Lake is a great way to escape city life.

Cream's

Cream's

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

Yama Momo

Yama Momo

Situated in the heart of East Dulwich on Lordship Lane, if you like Japanese food, you have to try Yama Momo. Great atmosphere, food and drinks!

Tate Modern

Tate Modern

Where better to view some of the country's modern art than along the South Bank.

Tart

Tart

The second establishment set up after the original opened in Clapham in 2015, these quiches are exciting and tasty, with vegan and gluten free options available.

Churchill Theatre

Churchill Theatre

Lots of great shows throughout the year, including plays and world-famous music artists.

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

"During the mid-1800s, notable builder Thomas Cubbitt helped lay out the grand houses of the Clapham Park estate, which sadly were mostly destroyed during World War II."

The properties in Sutton are perfect for families and people looking for a quieter life - I love it here!

South London quote

Thomas Lebbern

The John Innes Conservation Area in Merton has some beautiful old buildings.

Tom Cope

For me, there's no better place to take a stroll along the Thames than by Battersea Park...
