Top-notch good in a unique stunning 18th century mansion set amid the modern high-rises of Vauxhall. Bar snacks are excellent but mains are spectacular. The rest of the house is architectural salvage and antiques. You need to book the restaurant. Take a walk by the river afterwards.

Van Gogh lived for a while in Hackford Road, a short walk from the house. Amble through Van Gogh Walk and view the outside of the house where he lodged as a young man and fell in love with his landlady (and her daughters). Unrequited, as he was quite strange.

Unique in the entire world. Free. Small children love the space. Excellent shop. Walk along Bankside towards London Bridge and stop to look at the Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Golden Hind (Henry VIII's replica ship) and buy delicious goodies at Borough Market. You are in one of the oldest parts of London. Heritage everywhere.

Not one of the best London parks but at least a pleasant green open space. Site of the 1848 Chartist demonstration (important date in the push to universal suffrage).

One of the last remaining outdoor markets in London. It's not quality on display but eccentricity and colour. Brixton also has covered markets, where you can eat at trendy cafes or non-trendy ones. Your choice.
