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.

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 Sunday Carvery
They serve a wonderful 3 course Sunday carvery where the beef is carved to you at your table with unlimited cocktails! the desserts were displayed on a cart, I've never experience Sunday roast like this before. Kids also get a smaller portion at a smaller price which was great!
"The Greek inspired necropolis at West Norwood cemetery has seen over 200,000 burials including such illustrious figures as cookery writer Mrs Beeton, the pioneer of the machine gun Sir Hiram Maxim and the head of the Doulton pottery dynasty who had an entire vault created from terracotta."
Streatham Common is the perfect place to hang out when the sun is shining.

A great mix of independent and high street stores gives Balham a real community feel that always impresses my clients.
