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.

Blue and Orange

Blue and Orange

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

The Conquering Hero

The Conquering Hero

Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

La Bruschetta

La Bruschetta

They serve tasty lunchtime salads at this local cafe.

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.

Orange Buffalo

Orange Buffalo

Amazing wings, with an equally as amazing vegan option. Well worth a visit!

Meza

Meza

Fresh and healthy Lebanese food to go!

Cherry & Ice

Cherry & Ice

A café serving delicious ice creams and milkshakes with the friendliest staff - they're so lovely and helpful and always make me feel welcome.

Graveney and Meadow

Graveney and Meadow

A restaurant with cool, quirky décor and a great bar for a quiet drink.

Micro Beers

Micro Beers

Has to be one of the coolest shops in the entire borough and doubles up as a bar which is usually packed to the rafters on the weekend!

Konditor & Cook

Konditor & Cook

They have a few stores around, but this is the best. Curly Whirly cake is the food stuff of legends, the most chocolatey chocolate cake ever!

Mia Strada

Mia Strada

An independent fashion boutique in the heart of Worcester Park for its fashion-forward residents.

Leadbelly's Bar

Leadbelly's Bar

Amazing gluten-free food.

Brockwell Park

Brockwell Park

A great place for an early morning run, where you feel like you aren't even in London - yet you are only 10 minutes from central London on the Victoria line. There are tennis courts, a gym and a Lido too if running isn't your thing.

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

"The luxury goods company, Asprey, was founded in Mitcham in 1781 as a silk printing business."

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

Stephanie Kele

Wandle Park in Collier's Wood is a great place to take a picnic or walk the dog.

Sit back and take in the sites from south east London's modern penthouses....
