Our favourite local takeaway. Not your traditional curry menu but very tasty. Fast local delivery but also great fun to dine in. Would recommend the House Chicken Curry and the Cheese naan!

Quite honestly one of the best fish and chips you’ll get in London. Large selection of fish choices too, and grilled options for those avoiding the deep fried batter versions! Easily found on Deliveroo or a 10 min walk from the flat.

Looks run of the mill from the from the outside hands down the best bakery around Brockley and Nunhead area, good 15 minute walk but worth it to get it to Nunhead’s high street anyways. Plenty of options including excellent vegan jam donuts and vegan sausage rolls.

Great easy going bar to grab a drink, they sometimes throw events like clothing swaps and have been known to do takeaway cocktails from a window when it’s the hot summer months.
