Spent a lovely summer at Sarah and Angela's flat in Camberwell. It took me a few days to get my bearings but settled in and loved the neighborhood. The estate is extremely quiet and full of a variety of people and families. The flat is peaceful and just a nice oasis of calm in the city. You are literally less than a 5-10 min walk from everything you need in terms of shopping, restaurants, markets, etc. Great local art and music scene as well. While the location is not right on the tube, you are amazingly located in Camberwell. All kinds of buses, etc., that take you to the tube easily and close to Denmark Hill overground too. I often walked from Soho or Covent Garden back to Camberwell. I felt very much like I was not in a tourist area which I liked. Would return here easily for another stay.
