Village feelFamily-friendly

Telegraph Hill is one of the most distinctive neighbourhoods in the borough, built on a hill that rises above New Cross and Deptford and offering surprising views across London from the park at the top. The streets around the hill have attracted a mix of young families and creative professionals and there is a strong community spirit with events and initiatives that have grown organically over the years. The housing is a mix of terraces and larger Victorian houses and the area is prized for its relative quiet despite being Zone 2. The area around Upper Parliament Street and Adelaide Avenue has a genuinely village like feel.
