Camberwell

Camberwell is a multicultural neighbourhood in zone 2, South-East London. Restaurants and pubs surround the busy Camberwell Church Street and there are many green spaces with Burgess Park to the north and Ruskin Park to the south. A bit of a transport blackspot, although there is Denmark Hill station to the south.

I'd never heard of Camberwell until I visited today. My first impressions weren't great as it was difficult to get there and, walking up from Denmark Hill station, the place seemed a right mess. It did grow on me though as Camberwell Church Street was lively, with a selection of restaurants and pubs and some of the back streets were surprisingly pretty.

Travelling through this area many times before living here, I not being impressed initially, hadn't realised what it had to offer. Trendy cafes and numerous picturesque parks, my favourite being The Bower Cafe and Brunswick Park makes it an enjoyable place to live and with a small baby in tow, it still is a comfortable inner city area. Appears to have great options for childcare, however have yet to look too much into this.

I've been looking at a flat to rent in Camberwell, which looks great for my budget. My concern is transport. Do locals use Oval tube station? How does it feel hiking up to that on a daily basis? What about Denmark Hill or Loughborough Junction?
