South London
Mottingham near Eltham is where you'll find Jolpai Indian Cuisine which has an excellent reputation for its service and extensive and flavoursome menus. If you like delicious Japanese food and rock music then there's every chance you'll love Rock Star Sushi Bar in Merton. Greenwich is the location for Green Pea which is a coffee house by day, and a restaurant serving home-cooked Irish-English cuisine by night. And while you eat, admire the art because Green Pea is also a gallery and holds a brand new exhibition each month.
London's vibrancy goes up a gear come the night. Perhaps best of all the super clubs, the Ministry of Sound has been hosting world-famous DJs since 1991. Brixton is the home of Plan B, a club that attracts a loyal following with its leftfield acts. This is the place to enjoy music ranging from hip-hop to electronic music, and where the likes of Erol Alkan, Lady Sovereign and LCD Soundsystem have played. There are many other great live venues such as The Clapham Grand and Brixton Academy which regularly hosts top acts.
For large shopping centres, try Southside in Wandsworth, Surrey Quays in Rotherhithe and Bromley's Intu, where you'll find an appealing mix of high-street stores, cafés and restaurants.
We have a great choice of hotels all over South London. Rowhill Grange Hotel, Wilmington, is a splendid 18th-century manor house, in the Kent countryside. For a delightful riverside stay, The Runnymede-on-Thames in Egham is hard to beat. And Wandsworth's Holiday Inn, near the centre of London, is good value and has a host of amenities.
