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 Bull

The Bull

This gastropub next to Streatham Common is fantastic! The décor is really cool, there's an impressive outdoor seating area with fires and the food is outstanding.

The Conquering Hero

The Conquering Hero

Totally the best Sunday roast and pint around.

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.

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre

Located in the heart of Streatham it is the hub of the community. This comunity centre is a multi-facility location with London's only Olympic size ice rink.

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.

Joanna's Restaurant

Joanna's Restaurant

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

Cream's

Cream's

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

Grangewood Park

Grangewood Park

Yet another great park in SE25 - a hidden gem.

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

The Press Room

The Press Room

Proves you don't need to live in zone 1 to get amazing coffee.

Paul Rhodes Bakery

Paul Rhodes Bakery

Delicious baked goods, friendly staff, yummy hot drinks and you can the watch the world go by at the Royal Navel College opposite.

The Foley

The Foley

A large village gastropub. Great Sunday lunches.

Sorabal

Sorabal

A traditional Korean restaurant with a great set menu.

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

"Crystal Palace owes its name to the glass palace built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, which was held in Hyde Park. The structure was dismantled and moved to what is now known as Crystal Palace Park, but following a fire in 1936, it was unfortunately destroyed."

Streatham Common is the perfect place to hang out when the sun is shining.

Stephanie Kele

From independent shops, green spaces and a short commute, Herne Hill is the perfect combination!

Gary Howorth

There are some extraordinary properties in the Surbiton and Kingston area that you wouldn't find in central London.
