Right in the heart of Hither Green Village is this family run pizzeria with delicious food and even better service!
Don’t just have the pizza- their pasta and seafood are amazing, as are their salads. We end up here about once a week and have never been let down.

Not to it average kebab shop! This Mediterranean restaurant does everything well. Their service is impeccable and we leave every time feeling like family. Their food is delicious - they do standard rice and meat dishes, as well as awesome seafood, and hot and cold meze. They also do a lunch deal and children’s deal, and deliver! Recommend the lamb iskender, prawns, and babaghanush.

Our new local! A small, intimate, but friendly bar with a good beer and wine selection, a few cocktails, and coffees. They do food although we haven’t tried it yet- have heard good things! Run by the brother of the man who runs the Good Hope, both are community staples and favourite spots amongst locals.

Just around the corner is this huge community park, with allotments, a sandpit, a huge and well appointed playground, and lots of space to have a picnic or a kick about. We go there a lot with our three year old and he never seems to tire of it.

A craft beer and chocolate shop- what else do I need to stay? Also have some space to drink in, and the nice guy who owns it is good at recommending new beers to try.

A tourist hot spot, but worth a visit! Greenwich Village is gorgeous, with a daily market (food and wares), lots of shops, the Thames clipper, the Cutty Sark, tons of good cafes and restaurants, as well as the Maritime Museum, Greenwich University, the Royal Naval College, and more.
Greenwich picturehouse is also amazing if you want to go to an old fashioned British film- you can even get wine!

Grittier and a little more run down than surrounding neighbourhoods, Lewisham is nonetheless worth a visit if for nothing else than its amenities (basic shopping centre and grocery shops), and transport links. Most buses and trains that serve SE London come to Lewisham- including the DLR and national rail services. The 181 and 225 buses go from Hither Green Lane to lewisham town centre and Lewisham Station in just under 10 minutes.

A bit rough and ready overall, but two spots stand out as worth mentioning. The Ninth Life pub has great food and a laid back vibe, and lots of events on for adults and kids alike. There is also the Catford Mews, which is a trendy space with food vendors and a cinema, and local artists at the weekend. We walk there often to see a film and have some nachos, and my son likes the food market open the last Sunday of every month. catford also has a drop in yoga studio and good transport links!

A cute but small neighbourhood about a 20 minute walk away, ladywell is worth a visit if you want to check out nearby Hilly Fields or Ladywell Park. Both parks have awesome playgrounds (the good playgrounds are in the centre of Hilly Fields and the far end of Ladywell Park). Le Delice is a great French cafe and, though expensive, the pizzas at Mama Dough tavern are awesome. Ladywell pub has good drinks and ambience, but I have never been blown away by the food. Ladywell cemetery is a short walk away and is often recommended as a place to visit!
