The Best Things

• Willow Restaurant, corner of Love Walk on Denmark Hill- The best restaurant in Camberwell.
• drive by eggings
• Camberwell Grove That sense of well-being as you you progress northwards up Denmark Hill, cross the junction with Coldharbour Lane, scurry past the methodone clinic and hop on a passing 42 up to Ruskin Park... Sophocles Bakers; the Greek Cypriot deli; Tadim's; Wordsworth; the oriental supermarket gaining points all the time - great fresh Vietnamese groceries in store now!
• Proximity and access to the river and its pubs(!!), Ruskin Park,the friendly attitude of the locals, the improvement of the Green in recent years.
• Village-Type Feel in Back streets (when you see Camberwell Green Junction you don't realize this) Some great Bars/clubs - Camberwell Art College
• Good food
• being able to see the dome of st pauls on a clear day and reminding yourself that you're on the crappy outskirts of a beautiful city.

• The wealth of buses that you can take to virtually anywhere in London!
• The pool - one of the only uncrowded places to swim in London in the evening.
• Close to central london
• The Fox on the Hill - when it comes to having a family in the summer time. They have recently installed a fab new climbing frame which is perfect for those tots who have to endure a few hours down the pub with mum and dad in the sunshine. Enables you to sit back for a while and let them ware themselves out.
• The architecture, the interesting people, the variety.
• The people, the mix of cultures
• Ruskin Park, has tame squirrels running about, tennis courts, a basketball court, childrens playground, it is a small, pretty, quiet park, a good place to get some fresh air if you don't have a back garden

• To answer the question as to where Sarsparilla was purchased - Baldwin's Health Food shop, on the Walworth Road opposite Amelia street
• The 42 bus route (which goes from outside Capital News Agent on Denmark Hill) goes via Tower Bridge, which is a personal fave of mine, and then onto Liverpool Street Station via the City.
• Well served by buses. Lots of parks and greens.
• SASPARILLA at the Elephant. cant remember the name of the place that sold it though. I'd swop all Canadian Beers for just one more pint of SASPARILLA!!
• Very trendy student area village atmosphere will become the Camden of the nest millenium!
• Brilliant international and cheap food. Good bus routes straight into the centre of town and to and from Waterloo. A vibrant cultural mix, lovely old Georgian Houses.
