Nice old trees, lots of space, good for walking, running, hanging out with your kids and most of all, the perfect place to lie in the grass and chill out.
Although my skating days are now over, Stockwell Skatepark located just behind Brixton Academy is one of the reasons I moved to Brixton. It’s an excellent place, lumpy and hectic but totally friendly with decent Portuguese coffee and cakes just next door.
Sager & Wilde is a small wine bar on Hackney Road, close to many other amazing places on Hackney and Columbia Road.
The perfect place for an aperitif or a nightcap.
