Where do South London locals go?

Cream's

Cream's

Classic hot and cold desserts, milkshakes and gelato served in a low-lit, purple and black setting.

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 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.

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.

The Railway Pub

The Railway Pub

Best pub quiz on a Tuesday night!!

Crystal Palace Aquarium

Everything you need for your fish and reptile needs, even little critters like locusts!

Mocktails and cocktails whilst enjoying lovely views of the City from the top of Crystal Palace Triangle.

The Conquering Hero

Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

Four Hundred Rabbits

Head to this pizza restaurant for a delicious gelato on a warm summer's day in the Crystal Palace Triangle!

Herne Hill Market

Herne Hill Market

A buzzing Sunday market, right near Herne Hill Station.

The Castle

The Castle

Jump off the tube at Tooting Broadway and straight to the bar! The beer garden is amazing. Definitely one of the best pubs in Tooting and South London.

Fennies Nurseries

Fennies Nurseries

A leading children's day nursery for little explorers (3mths) to inventors (5yrs). Launch your child's learning journey today!

Dickerage Recreation Ground

Dickerage Recreation Ground

A lovely community green space that is the perfect place to go and walk your dog. There is a good sized field and a play area for young children, including an outdoor bouncy castle.

Roebuck

Roebuck

A stunning view from Richmond Hill at the Roebuck. It used to be Mick Jagger's local!

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

"The UK's first supermarket was opened in Streatham in 1951."

Some of Canada Water's modern developments have amazing views of our beloved capital!

South London quote

Thomas Holmes

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

Chris Campbell

A fantastic day out if you are lucky enough to get tickets, although the atmosphere in and around Wimbledon during the tennis is great!
