So like many others who live in this area we know how lovely it is. But when you read some reviews of the area they aren't that amazing :S
I thought I'd make a change to this, and devote my energy to have a good nose of the local area and tell what goes on, where to go and what you can do. Over the next few months my aim is to try and go to two of the places on my list per month - wish me luck!
Here is the list I'm planning to investigate - feel free to let me know of any other ones you think I should add :
Hither Green:
Cafe of Good Hope

A great little cafe on the main street in Hither Green, I briefly mentioned it before here.

My partner and I have recently bought a house in the Western side of Hither Green, two blocks away from Mountsfield Park, and we got so much space for our money! Coming from Balham I was a bit doubtful about the area, but I found Hither Green to be very safe and the people very friendly! I’m a Director for a Media company in Soho and work very long hours so an easy commute is very important to me. It’s only half an hour into central London and that’s priceless! Hither Green is definitely a hidden gem!
ReplyDeleteHello, it is so lovely to here someone else has fallen for the charms of Hither Green. I have myself just recently moved to New Cross but still see Hither Green as my home and often head back for a coffee from Lynne at You Don't Bring Me Flowers. Mountsfield Park is lovely and the views are fantastic from the top of the hill. Have you found any hidden gems in the area yourself?
