Why South East?
Hilltops and Hidden Cafés
South East London is where the city feels most like home to me. It's full of character—quiet parks with skyline views, cozy cafés where the baristas know your name, and pubs that feel like old friends.
Away from the typical tourist spots, this part of London has a charm that's more local, more laid-back, and always a little unexpected. These are the places I go to relax, recharge, and enjoy the everyday magic of city life.
