Telegraph Hill got its Conservation Area status in 2001, and is home to some of the finest housing stock and green space in S.E.London. It also lies within Zone 2, and transport options are boundless. New Cross Gate mainline and Overground are close, as is Nunhead, Brockley, and the DLR at Deptford. Buses a plenty are at the bottom of the road. London Bridge, Docklands, The East and West Ends are all oh so easy from here.

The Telegraph Hill Festival, due to begin in march, is one of Londons largest independent festivals, incorporating art, music, dance, food, a huge community musical, comedy, even a mystery - all locally produced.
Open Studios is another extremely popular event where people open up their gardens and art spaces over a weekend. The Hill Station community cafe and pizza bar on Kitto Rd by the upper park and the weekly Saturday market in the lower park are other examples of how the community pulls together.
The Hill Station cafe, nestled between the two parks, is a wonderful example of community cohesion, and is a hub for local artists, crafty types, pop ups and big community street gatherings such as the Big Sunday Lunch.

The two Telegraph Hill parks offer spectacular cityscape views, dog walking (in the upper park only), family spaces, tennis courts and the now regular weekly farmers and craft market.

School options are excellent too, with Edmund Waller Primary, and Haberdasher Askes Free primary and Secondary well regarded locally. Deptford Green Secondary is another good option.

Sainsburys at the bottom of the hill is good for the big shop, but get yourself down to Nunhead Lane for traditional Fish Mongers, Butchers, Bakery, Grocers and Deli. Keep it local!

Theres a good emerging night life that caters for the Hill-ites as well as the Goldsmiths Uni crowd. We have a fabulous Organic Hungarian restaurant, Skehans Irish bar with a Thai eatery attached, The Earl of Derby @The Telegraph (Great Sunday lunchs), Mama Dough pizzeria, and loads more in Brockley & Nunhead.
