the area

The development is in a perfect location with a range of bars, restaurants and shops all located on Knights Hill. Meanwhile, a selection of excellent pubs and cafes can be found towards the Gipsy Hill area. Cinemas, theatres and a leisure centre are all close by, whilst the wider area is rich with green spaces and parks. Just on your doorstep is Norwood park with its spectacular views of London.

West Norwood is home to a growing community of London professionals, creatives and young families. You are just as likely to find evening activities at the pubs and bars as you are early morning park runs and gatherings over coffee and brunch.

LOCAL LIFE

The vibrant Norwood High Street with the new Picture House & Crystal Palace Triangle are both within easy reach and offers an abundance of restaurants, cafes and shops to enjoy.

This area is particularly well-appointed when it comes to pubs, bars and drinking venues. Lesser-known, perhaps, are the brewing companies that are also popping-up in the area. The London Beer Factory and the Gipsy Hill Brewing Company are now well-established providers of craft ales. Meanwhile, there are of course pubs aplenty with The Paxton, The Hope and the aforementioned Knowles of Norwood known as excellent locals. There are also handy options such as The Alleyn’s Head and The Bricklayers Arms nearby whilst the Rock Steady Rum Lounge offers a more alternative drinking experience.
