Really delicious Nepalese curry house making everything from fresh ingredients. Delicately spiced and not your usual take away curry. We love the venison curry and the meat or veg momos (dumplings).

Stunning park with beautifully restored victorian manor house
Crystal Palace Park is a bit of an unpolished gem. Once home to the famous palace, it’s ridden with its ruins, rolling green hills, a few fishing lakes, cafés, a cool maze and petting farm for the kids and one hideous transmitter, affectionately dubbed ‘la tour de Crystal Palace’ by locals. From vintage car shows to gigs, funfairs to dreamy firework displays, there's always lots going on in the park, so always be on the lookout for the next quirky shindig. If you only see one thing though, make sure it’s the dinos. These celebrity statues, designed by Sir Richard Owen (the bloke who gave the deadly beasts their name), were the first of their kind in the world, and even predate Darwin’s publi
