Nunhead has a real village feel and is quite a rarity in London due to its high number of independent retailers. There is a baker, fishmonger, florist, fruit & veg shop, butcher, deli, craft beer & natural wine shop, alongside an excellent pub called The Old Nuns Head & a cemetery dating back to 1840 which is well worth a look.
