Large pub on the common - gets very busy, so we don't often go here. However, if you're after a real British pub - they don't get more typical than this!

A very large and substantial supermarket! Better value than Waitrose, but often long queues - try to avoid rush hour if you can (after 5pm).

Food Scene

Owned by the Soho House group, this is a handy local restaurant that serves (you guessed it) an array of chicken and egg meals. Quite tasty and good value.

Parks & Nature

Nice to walk around on a sunny Sunday - our nearest green space! There's a duck pond and lots of trees, not much else - but you could enjoy a pub lunch and a walk on the common, which is a favourite pastime for many locals!
