What locals say about Crystal Palace and surrounding areas
“I love Streatham Hill, with all it's new bars, coffee shops and eateries, it has become a popular place to be, morning, midday, or evening.”
Charlene
“South Norwood is unpretentious, friendly, easy to get around and very green!”
Alison
“South Norwood is vibrant and diverse. Residents have a civic pride in the area, which has many unique and quirky features. In 1966 the stolen World Cup was found here by Pickles the dog â an event celebrated by the South Norwood Tourist Board last year. In Tennyson Road there is a blue plaque marking the place where Arthur Conan Doyle once lived. Culturally we have an annual arts festival organised by SNAF (South Norwood Arts Festival). The Sensible Garden is a little oasis of calm and tranquility, and for broader vistas, see South Norwood lakes and the Country Park. We also have a monthly street market at the Clocktower, a varied selection of drinking holes to suit every taste and pocket. We have great transport links and schools and our very own Love Lane won the Play Street of the Year award 2016 (London Adventure Play Awards) demonstrating the locals commitment to making South Norwood a great area to bring up a family.”

Books in the Park presents Wild Walk with Wild South London
Join Wild South London for a Wild Walk around Beckenham Place Park to celebrate spring and learn about the flora and fauna in the park. Wild Walks are fun, free events that encourage people to get outside and explore local green spaces and enjoy feeling like a kid again. Well walk for up to two hours, depending on how everyone feels, stopping along the way to talk about what weve seen, read some passages from nature books and learn some facts about the natural world. These are not rigid guided walks or foraging walks, but Wild South London trustees will be on hand to point out species, answer questions and encourage walk attendees to share knowledge along the way too! Where to meet, getting here and how to prepare Meet your hosts outside Beckenham Place Mansion (on the car park side of the park) - what 3 words link: https://w3w.co/lowest.crate.origin Preparation Please ensure you wear suitable clothing and footwear based on the weather forecast. Some parts of the walk may be on muddy or uneven ground, but we will ensure we make it as accessible as possible. Please note that we will not be eating or foraging for anything on this walk but may point out species we have some knowledge of as foragers. Children are more than welcome, as long as they are supervised by an adult at all times. Dogs are also welcome but must be on a lead whilst in the garden areas as per Beckenham Place Park's rules.
