Very quirky, wonderful atmosphere, food and drink. Puts a completely different slant on Shabby Chic

Good Thymes Supper Club

Good Thymes Supper Club

A monthly supper club inside someone's home in Ladywell, where local people come to meet and taste some good home-cooked food. Every month there's a different theme.

The Point

The Point

One of the most secluded spots with amazing views over London. Not a tourist in sight and the perfect place for a picnic too.

Jam Circus

Jam Circus

A quirky pub that serves good food. It's also child friendly during the day.

The Gantry

The Gantry

This delightful restaurant and bar is cosy inside during the winter, yet there's an amazing garden for the summer months.

Buenos Aires Café

Buenos Aires Café

The best Argentinian steak restaurant ever, where the walls are covered in iconic photos taken by its owner. Definitely ask for an upstairs table overlooking Blackheath.

Gail's

Gail's

Fantastic olive bread and a great place to pick up a sneaky afternoon snack!

Zerodegrees

Zerodegrees

The food and wide range of beers brewed in house make this place so popular! They do scrumptious, fresh stonebaked pizzas and the views of Blackheath are great. A nice place for a drink and food.

Luciano's

Luciano's

Such great service from this independent restaurant. The pizzas and the seafood are highly recommended!

Le Querce

Le Querce

The finest Italian restaurant I have ever been to, with a varied and fresh menu that caters for everyone from meat eaters to vegans and all in between without seeming to try! I book for anniversaries, birthdays, visits from friends - any excuse to attend the best restaurant I know of. It may not look particularly salubrious, but it is child-friendly by day and romantically candle-lit by night. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Babur

Babur

Incredible Indian cuisine (and cocktails!) Hailed by Hardens, and impressive enough to rival anything in central London.

Why not explore the nearby areas of Hither Green, Catford, Blackheath, Forest Hill, Greenwich, Lee, New Cross, Nunhead, Deptford and Kidbrooke

"In 1848 at the Priory Ground, Algernon Road, a cricket match held - a team of one legged men against a team of one armed men!"

A place so integral and central to modern science, you can learn so much at Royal Greenwich Observatory.

There's such a buzz around Goldsmiths University..12 minutes to Charing Cross, easy road connections to Essex and property that provides excellent value...

New Cross is as arty and cultural as Shoreditch and Soho, but with a strong South London identity...

About Lewisham

Lewisham is a district in south London, located in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is situated 6.2 miles (10.0 km) south-east of Charing Cross. Almost all of the SE13 postcode district, which is associated with Lewisham, is within the London Borough of Lewisham, except for the Coldbath Estate and part of the Orchard Estate along Lewisham Road, which are covered by the London Borough of Greenwich. Lewisham's High Street is particularly long and wide for a London suburb and the area at the north end of the High Street was pedestrianised in 1994. Lewisham is a major local transport hub, lying on the A20 road towards Dover and at the start of A21 to Hastings, with its own large bus station, railway station and the southern terminus of the Docklands Light Railway. London Underground lines run into the north of the borough at New Cross station and New Cross Gate station as part of the East London Line.
