I love this area for the hills, and keeping my beloved city in view during lockdown.


I discovered the golf club view by accident, now I get there regularly. Waiting for the mud to clear from Sydenham woods and I can discover a different way home.

Can recommend Blythe Hill Fields from our recent walking excursions, also a good walk up to the Peabody Estae above Rosendale Road. We actually walked to the Rookery Garden in Streatham the other day (bit of a hike but got to see something different)!

Thank you for those! I watched the next one as well (Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace).


Very interesting!

I love The Rookery!


There's a nice little cafe there (when it's open) and also a mini brewery near the community garden there.

Keep your eye on the road though, rather than admiring the view! Canobie is a right XXXX to cycle up. Others agree https://www.broleur.com/top-ten-toughest-cycling-climbs-london-bergs/ When I first walked around the area it was a hidden gem. Still a gem but no longer hidden

    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
