Wandsworth Park

This 19-acre riverside park was opened by London County Council in 1903 on land which used to be allotments. The park is replete with a putting green, small cafe, cricket pitch and tennis courts. The park is home to 350 species of trees and the riverside promenade is lined with London Plane trees which provide shade and beautiful views across the river.

Maggies Cafe
Below platform 4 of Lewisham train station, is a charming Irish café, extremely popular with the locals, which can make it hard to get a table come lunch-time. A mixed clientèle of City commuters and construction workers frequent this institution. They serve an all-day 'Make-your-own' fry-up for £6, where you can order what and as much as you like off a set-menu. Besides the traditional 'heart attack on the plate', they do pies, pastas, steaks and salads, as well as curiously good curries, owing to the fact that the eponymous Maggy being married to a Bangladesh chef. Good banter is delivered with free refills of tea and coffee. Make you sure you ask for the Specials and also try the infamous Irish Musturd.
