Where do South London locals go?

Cream's

Cream's

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

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.

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!

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

"The area around Mitcham was used for lavender growing, which made it a popular settlement during times of plague. It was said that the area had a 'soothing air'."

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

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

Being by the river at Putney is the prettiest, most replenishing spot in London...
