Parks & Nature

My favourite park. Its big, with hills and lovely views into central London, two great cafes, lido, BMX track, tennis courts, bowls, walled garden, great playground and miniature railway. Easy to reach from here on the number 3 bus (towards Crystal Palace) or the 415.

Shopping

This is the place to stock up on dried teas, herbs and spices from the wall full of jars where you simply weigh out what you need. Stocks a decent range of whole foods, natural skincare, candles and incense. A Brixton institution.

I can vouch for the quality and taste of the chocolates at Kokoo: really delicious flavours and not overly sweet, nothing like the factory-made stuff. Expensive, but worth it for a special occasion!
