Parks & Nature
Directly behind my flat you can see the London skyline from Brockwell Park! From the Shard westward, it's worth a visit on a clear day. :) Also a great park for a walk or a run with bird ponds and a walled garden.

Getting Around
Thameslink to Blackfriars and St Pancras. Make sure to exit the station before 4:15pm in the winter as the park closes at 4:30pm and it's impossible to take the shortcut across to my flat. Go to Tulse Hill instead if coming back later this way.

Arts & Culture
The BCA has regular free exhibitions which highlight black culture in the UK and elsewhere - but often tell the story of the development of the local area. Worth a visit!
