Zebra loves South London. Also known as the dirty South with an accent. Okay, maybe that's just me who calls it that, but still Zebra draws its eye to the hidden treasures of London, England. The popular choice when it comes to art, cuisine and nightlife is usually to explore the North and Central areas. The likes of Oxford street, Soho, Covent Garden, etcetera. The obvious choices indeed. An explorer, by definition, seeks other less announced areas, so on that tip the Zebra traveler set out south of the river to a quaint location laced with artistic and cultural undertone, and food. The traveler discovers a new love.
Destination: Dulwich Village (South East).
A small residential town, with a bouquet of lovely shops ranging from restaurants, free range grown meat shop, winery, florists, local bespoke fashion design, tea houses - to museums, churches and art galleries. This town is filled with extremely beautiful real estate, all of which are detailed with well maintained forms of greenery.
Dulwich Village is a treasure cove and it certainly holds its own in a very quiet, chic, delicate yet rugged way. Its location is central to other treasures in the south, such as Greenwich (Market and Maritime Museum), Forest Hill (the Horniman Museum & Aquarium), Catford (The Broadway Theatre) and Brixton (Market and Eclectic Vibes). And that is only naming a few. South London offers a refreshed outlook on passé ideas fantasized by many whenever thoughts of Big Ben flood their minds. This exciting realm, rich in culture especially, hovers close to the ground – the heart beat of a far more unified London. In our opinion, off course.
