For us, none other than the amazing tradition of Christmas markets is what gets us in the Christmas spirit, and so we have gathered some of the fantastic Christmas markets in South London that are definitely worth checking out in your local area this year!
As the sun finally begins to show its face, we’re bringing you a list of the best spots to don your sunnies, slap on the suncream and settle in for an afternoon of cold ones in the London sunshine. From riverside sundowners to boozy lunches on the terrace, Putney’s got an exciting little assortment of al fresco possibilities and we’ve rounded them up just in time for the Bank Holiday.
With the gradual, yet steady closing-down of local cinemas and theatres that has been happening in Britain for decades, we thought it a good idea to use our platform to pay homage to one of the oldest theatres in South London that has survived this unfortunate decline in entertainment venues, and continues to showcase cutting edge theatre and events to this day....
Season's greetings! There is no better way of getting into the Christmas spirit than by attending your local christmas markets. Wrap up warm with the family or a few friends, stroll down to your local market and enjoy the rich warming smells of mulled wine and mince pies, whilst trying to remember the lyrics to your favourite carols. We've got the round-up; check out where your local market is happening and make sure you're there!
Run your fingers along their spines, cast your eyes up and down the shelves, flick through the pages and sit cross legged on the floor engrossed in the words resting in your lap. Escape the dull, uniform, needlessly clean chain bookshops that are a stalwart part of any high street or soulless shopping centre. South London has its fair share of independent bookshops where hidden treasures can be found, prices are right and the shelves hold countless stories to lose yourself in.
Sometimes the only answer is a glass of wine. Whether you’re looking for an independent wine shop to support or a wine tasting experience to up your game, South London has lots of locations for all lovers of the red, white and rosé. We’ve rounded up all the best spots to hit for all the wine lovers of South London!
Wine has been enjoyed as early as 7000 BC and has never gone out of style, remaining the most popular alcoholic drink in the UK. You can choose between Red, Rosé, White or Sparkling and all of these can be enjoyed in different ways. Sure, you can still grab a cheap bottle from the off license, but it will never be the same as enjoying a cold glass of extra special wine in the bustling streets of London. Wine also complements food better than any other beverage, making it a popular choice amongst restaurant goers. Sure, Britain might not be the host of fantastic vineyards like those in France and New Zealand, but we are good at collecting the best from all over the world and putting it in one place for you to enjoy. We’ve done something similar here, collecting the best spots to enjoy these wines from all over South London and put them all in one place, this blog.
