Magnificent open space which even the socialists managed not to build on. Perhaps due to the rich luvvie nimby population nearby? Lovely extensive spot, some untamed, with views of London. Great for walking. Some good local pubs.
Tie in with strolls round the "blue" plaques of dead locals, e.g. Marie Stopes, Lee Miller, Jacqueline du Pre, DH Lawrence and Thomas Beecham (just a small sample.)
