Wandsworth

Wandsworth s a middle class neighbourhood with lot of parks, shopping centres and rows of houses. There may not be that many interesting things to see here, but at least it's good for jogging and shopping without too many crowds.

Forest Hill

Forest Hill has got some of the best views over London and lovely gardens. There are lots of families in this area and this seems like a place where many people want to raise their kids in London. The area east of Forest Hill train station is not quite as nice as the other side of the tracks.

Balham

On the first sight, Balham looks fairly boring. The high street has the same shops as every high street in a middle class neighbourhood in London. There are, however, some excellent cafés and pubs in this area and it might just be that Balham will soon get its fair share of cool. The highstreet is also filled with charity shops where you can make some bargains.

Tooting

Tooting is a large area with lots to see an do. There's a huge park in the middle, interesting markets, great restaurants and some nice little cafés. There are also some small traces of cool in the area and who knows if this place will be th place to go in the future. There's a very multicultural atmosphere in the area, which you can also see in the area's restaurants.

Merton (Colliers Wood)

Merton is a suburban area way down in South London. Rows of houses, lots of parks and some pubs and restaurants. The area doesn't seem that fancy even though it's very calm and relaxed. This place feels like a long way from the busy streets of central London.

Morden

Morden is a suburban area deep in South London at the end of the Northern line. This place looks in places almost rural with it's huge park with wooded areas and fields, and with farms and neture walks here and there. It's a good place to escape all the noise of more central areas.

West Norwood & Tulse Hill

West Norwood is a suburban area in South London. The rows of houses look about the same as anywhere else and the cool hipsters have not found this place yet. There's one of the magnificent seven cemeteries here and a couple of nice looking cafes and pubs.Tulse Hill is a bit fancier area to the north, but it's difficult to draw borders for these areas, so I'm including them in the same post.

Herne Hill

Herne Hill is a more relaxed and beautiful area to the south from Brixton. there's a great village atmosphere there. There are some excellent cafés, bakeries, restaurants and pubs in the area. The large Brockwell Park dominates the area

Chingford

Chingford is a suburb area in North East London. The general feel in the village is not the most exciting. It feels like being outside of London in a small English town. What makes this area worth visiting though, is that the enormous Epping Forest is just around the corner.

Brockley

Brockley is a quiet and small area between New Cross, Lewisham and Nunhead. This place is mostly quiet, but it has a few cool spots that are well worth visiting. This place is close to the areas that are gentrifying right now, so it may be that in a few years time, Brockley will become one of London's hot spots.

Streatham

Streatham is a neighbourhood south of Brixton. This area is fairly easygoing with a mixture of wealthy and poor. There are lots of charity shops and cafes around and it seems to be fairly popular place for families. The area to the south has a bit of cillage character, whereas the northern parts around Streatham Hill are a bit uglier and busier.
