This is my favourite gastro-pub in the area. Great food and also just good for drinks. The menu is always changing and they do a brilliant traditional English Sunday roast. Tuesday evenings there's a pub quiz. Good fun.

Parks & Nature
It's a small park, which is another 3 minutes' walk from the flat. It's great if you want to get a breath of fresh air and stretch your legs. Good on sunny days. There are also tennis courts here, an exercise area and a kids play area. Very popular park with the neighbourhood locals.
