Quirky little cafe that serves tea, coffee, drinks and cakes. They take their coffee seriously and it has a great atmosphere, with live jazz on Tuesday evenings.

The best food in the area, it's a relaxed gastropub with a changing menu. The sharing dishes are the best, and it has a good wine list and real ales.

Fantastic udon noodles, apparently as good as Japan (I haven't been to Japan so wouldn't know, but they are pretty good). You can't book but it is definitely worth the wait.

If you like pizza.. I'd say this is the best in London. Great value, great atmosphere, the original Franco Manco set in bustling Brixton Market. You will need to queue, but worth it!

This is a charming little place that's particularly good to eat outside in summer. It reminds me of my favourite Italian restaurant I used to go to with my family - lovely waiters and great value food

Although it's a bit further than Stockwell (about a 15 minute walk) I usually use Vauxhall to get the Victoria line as it's a nice walk along Fentiman Road and through the park to get to the station.

You can get a tube or bus to the Shard in 20 minutes. I haven't been but keep meaning to: it's the tallest building in Europe and whatever you think about it apparently the views are pretty good.

Sightseeing

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are walking distance from the flat. It's best to walk on the south side of the river to get the view, and then cross over on Westminster bridge to visit close up.
