Tooting Bec Common Pond

Highlight • Lake

Tooting Bec Common is one of two areas of common land which make up the Tooting Commons. The area of 152 acres (52 ha) has important habitats such as rare acid grassland and woodland which help to protect London's wildlife. You may recognise the commons from the film Common People, a British independent film.

Clapham Common is an iceberg of a tube station, with a tiny bit sticking out above the ground, and a huge maze of underground tunnels and escalators below ground. It's one of the few stations where both north and southbound trains still share a platform.

Statue based on a poem by Cécile Nobrega, the first statue of a black woman in London.

The Bronze Woman is London’s first statue of an African-Caribbean woman, which has since been recognised as an ode to motherhood and the prominence of this ethnic minority.

The statue sits at 10ft high and was installed in the Stockwell Memorial Garden. It was based on the now famous poem of the same name by Cécile Nobrega who lived in Stockwell until her passing in 2013. The Bronze Woman poem was written around 50 years ago, celebrating Caribbean women, with lines like ‘find me a place/ in the sun’ and ‘there i will set her/ honoured, free’. With this poem, Nobrega was able to immortalise not only her own memory and legacy, but the memory of all women.

Southwark Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie stands at the oldest crossing-point of the River Thames at what was for many centuries the only entrance to the City of London situated across the river. A verbal tradition passed on to the Elizabethan historian John Stow suggests that the first Christian establishment was a community of nuns in the 7th century, but the first written reference is the mention of a 'minster' in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Leadenhall Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Leadenhall Market dates back to the 14th century and is situated in what was the centre of Roman London. Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars and an award-winning pub.

Starting as the site of a manor, Leadenhall has survived changes in use, rebuilding, and even the Great Fire to become a popular destination for city residents, visitors and workers.

Extensively restored in 1991, Leadenhall Market offers a spectacular Victorian setting with the roof, cobbles and buildings preserved. By the mid-20th century the shops are also being used for general retailing and leisure and by the end of the century Leadenhall Market has evolved into one of the City’s five principal shopping centres.

The George Inn

Highlight • Historical Site

Authentic 17th-century inn/pub with oak beams and a large courtyard seating area.

The pub is easy to miss from the street – it's located in the back courtyard!
