Things To Do In South London

South London doesn't draw as many visitors as glamorous West London or the trendy East, but it has many attractions that make it a worthy destination to explore, and it won't be long until this area is on everyone's map. One of the best ways to get a bird's-eye view of the area and beyond is to take a ride on the London Eye. Skip the lines by pre-booking a VIP cabin, which will give you a private capsule from which you can enjoy the views.

To discover more about England’s history, make a pit stop at the Imperial War Museum on the Lambeth Road. This sprawling museum features a range of exhibitions, including a haunting look into the holocaust, as well as a display of war machines, such as tanks and even jets. Another nearby museum that is definitely worth a visit is the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Surrounded by beautiful Greenwich Park, this huge museum reveals more about Britain's love for the seas, while the nearby Royal Observatory has the Meridian line running through it.

South London also has many gastropubs, cafes and bars in which to enjoy a tipple or a bite to eat. Many of these are independently owned and offer a nice break from some of the big-brand chains dotted around in the centre of the city. All of these areas are easily accessible when you are travelling by car.
