Smaller than Tooting Common but it has a brand new playground. If you can, take a stroll to the top where you’ll find The Rookery, a very beautiful walled garden with a monthly farmers market. A great spot to let the kids run around. There is also a really good cafe up there for coffee, ice cream and lunch.

A real foodie hotspot. These two dilapidated markets have been filled with food stalls featuring cuisines from all over the world. Our favourite is probably Salon (not quite so good with kids though).

A lovely park for a stroll. Get the 319 bus direct there from outside the Manor Arms or the train from Streatham Hill.
Chez Bruce overlooks the common and is one of our favourite restaurants. It’s a special occasion/Michelin star type place so comes with a hefty price tag but the cheese board is EPIC!
