Parks & Nature
Beautiful open space - go to the hill near the lake around sunset with a picnic, or have an open-air BBQ near the lake! Nice cafe, great playgrounds for children, good place for a run (5k parkrun course marked out) or a walk.

347 Walworth RdTrendy, lovely food and drinks.
Beautiful, friendly little pub with great food (tho check when they're serving) and all sorts to drink. Typically British yet modern. The map is wrong for this - it's near Penrose Street about a 15 min walk from home - use Google maps!
