Superb location with an artistic vibe offers an authentic slice of London! Quiet at night with lots of friendly locals. Make sure to catch the Brockley Market on Saturdays (superb cheeses, bread, and cold cuts). There are many great and fine inexpensive places to eat, including a Turkish restaurant and the Everest Curry House (towards the church further down the hill on Lewisham Road). Many other cheap and moderately priced places to eat are in the opposite direction en route to and around Goldsmiths, merely 5 to 10 minutes away by foot. For a quick bite, you can pop into the Tesco Express just a 3 blocks up (though there are lots of late-night bodegas too). Train is close by as are many central bus lines; the best way to see London in my opinion - take a bus a few stops away and walk!
