Oxleas Wood Cafe and Severndroog Castle

Severndroog Castle tea rooms do super food and jolly posh teas in the considerately renovated folly albeit with sometimes random opening hours, check the website! Oxleas Wood Cafe is always open and always makes for a pleasant break with plenty of space for the kids to play and dogs to be run.

Such great service from this independent restaurant. The pizzas and the seafood are highly recommended!

Zerodegrees

The food and wide range of beers brewed in house make this place so popular! They do scrumptious, fresh stonebaked pizzas and the views of Blackheath are great. A nice place for a drink and food.

ExCel Centre

ExCel Centre

There are exhibitions held here all the time - most recently ComicCon. It was also the venue for many of the events during the 2012 Olympics.

Buenos Aires Café

Buenos Aires Café

The best Argentinian steak restaurant ever, where the walls are covered in iconic photos taken by its owner. Definitely ask for an upstairs table overlooking Blackheath.

Run or Dye

Run or Dye

The most fun you can have with a pair of trainers, never mind the mad dashing through colour stations where you're attacked with sachets of dye. There's also a music festival of colour! Run or Dye takes place not only in London, but all around the country and world.

Sunborn Yacht Hotel

Sunborn Yacht Hotel

A little known gem, the Sunborn is a fully functioning hotel held on a yacht next to the ExCel centre. You can go here just for the bar, as well as the half price buffet breakfast at the weekend too!

"The first ever McDonald's UK restaurant was opened in Woolwich in 1975."

Woolwich is affordable, it has great transport links, fantastic people and the new General Gordon Place is extraordinary.

About Welling

A southeast London suburb, Welling is a perfect spot for families who want the best of both worlds – a quick and easy commute to London and a quieter suburban life in a leafy area. Welling has good transport links and all the amenities you need, as well as a few famous attractions. Arguably the two most well-known are the large Russian Gun and St Mary the Virgin Church, which boasts a wide range of 20th-century liturgical art. Add to this all the shops, sports centres, and healthcare facilities you’d need and it’s easy to see why Welling is ideal for families who want a slower-paced yet convenient lifestyle.
