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 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.

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 Conquering Hero
Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

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.

The Craft Beer Cabin
Cute little place with the biggest selection of craft beers I've found in ages.
"Michael Caine's 1969 version of The Italian Job used Crystal Palace Park for the backdrop of one of its most famous scenes, in which Caine proclaims 'You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'."
You can be at London Victoria or London Bridge in less than half an hour from West Norwood Station.

Figge's Marsh is a lovely green space with pretty wildflowers amongst South West London's residential streets.

Having a picnic, chatting with friends or just reading a book in the sun..Greenwich Park is bliss on a sunny day!
