Shelverdine Goathouse
A charming and homely pub with a good vibe. There are different bar areas each with its own character. Good selection of keg and cask ales and a open kitchen serving good, reasonably priced food. The staff are very friendly and the service good. It has a quiz night on Mondays, compered by a charming and entertaining quiz master.

The Craft Beer Cabin
Cute little place with the biggest selection of craft beers I've found in ages.
"Dinosaur Court features a variety of sculptures of distinct animals through the ages and was commissioned following The Crystal Palace's move to the South. It is now Grade I listed."
The dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park are a fantastic site amongst the beautiful greenery.

Crystal Palace transmitting station is a beacon for the South.
Anerley is a quiet, short walk to Crystal Palace Park and the triangle and has great transport links. Friendly local people. I moved from Clapham two years ago with my young family and haven't looked back.
