Here’s our guide to the local area.
Sydenham is a large area spread across several different boroughs. It is a vibrant neighbourhood with a range of local amenities, bars and restaurants to choose from. It is well served for green open spaces. Since its incorporation into the Overground network, Sydenham has become well connected to the City and Docklands, as well as being a short hop away from the restaurant and face culture in Crystal Palace. Families with young children are spoilt for choice too, with all types of schools being represented here.
