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!

The Railway Pub

The Railway Pub

Best pub quiz on a Tuesday night!!

The Rookery

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.

Grangewood Park

Grangewood Park

Yet another great park in SE25 - a hidden gem.

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

"To celebrate the launch of his dinosaur models in Crystal Palace Park in 1853, Benjamin Hawkins held a lavish New Year's Eve banquet inside the mould of an Iguanodon."

A mixture of independent and high street shops line Streatham High Road, which has seen great development over the past few years.

Chris Campbell

Three Kings Pond is a great place to walk and unwind.

Tom Cope

It's fun to watch the ducks swim across the ponds at Wandsworth Common.
