Few weeks ago I hiked the hills of South East London for the @selondonjournal, now the issue is out and free for you to grab and enjoy ✨🏙✨ (at Camberwell)

The lovely window of the Broca Foods Cafe in Brockley. There aren’t many things as inviting as artisanal bread.

Delightful tea break at Broca Foods in Brockley before venturing out in the London’s drizzly rain.

SE14 - between Nunhead and Brockley

Walking through the sleepy, foggy neighbourhood

SE4 - Brockley 

Imagine sitting just outside one of those trembling shacks, admiring your own effort while sipping a hot cup of tea.

Every street in SE4 hides the perfect townhouse

SE4 - Brockley

From yesterday afternoon. I walked between Hilly Fields, Brockley and Telegraph Hill - I have a massive postcode crush now.

SE23 - Forest Hill 

The Ashberry Cottage in Honor Oak Road. The blue plaque says: Here lived, William, Duke of Clarence, later King William IV and Mrs Dorothea Jordan, actress. Not a bad effort for a pretty townhouse.

SE19 - Gipsy Hill

One of the things that I love the most about London is the name of each different town located in its borders. Some of them are really unusual (see Nunhead, Elephant and Castle), most of them are inextricably linked to the history of the place, all of them are extremely evocative. 

One of my all time favourites definitely has to be Gipsy Hill, although I never visited it before yesterday (but I often secretly imagined how cool it would sound if it was my address). 

Of course, all hints of gipsy life are long gone, but this place seems to have skipped the process of modernisation and gentrification.

I haven’t pushed myself too far, but from where I was (walking towards Norwood Park) I couldn’t see much but rows of Victorian townhouses. In the town centre Tescos and Sainsbury’s aren’t to be found - But if you are looking for a shoe repairer, a “Ladies & Gentlemen” tailor or an “Essential General Store”, well you are in luck. They’re all in the main street.

SE22 - East Dulwich

Goose Green is loosing its leafy blanket already. I can’t believe how quickly Autumn went. Colours are still gorgeous though.

SE22 - East Dulwich

I have a crush on this place. I mean I love everything plants..and big windows... and neon signs.. <3  I am sure I am not the only one, this is one of the most instagrammed shops of all SE London for a reason!

SE15 - Peckham

The Bussey Building & the Copeland Park area just behind it. One of the biggest creative hubs in South London and one of the most beautiful too. It features stunning studio spaces, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, cocktail bars and even a record shop and a club.
