'Hatcham' derives most likely from Anglo Saxon; meaning 'a clearing in the woods', and reputedly, Charles Dickens wrote 'Our Mutual Friend' in a lively local: The Five Bells pub (1864-5).
Stroll just 10 minutes to New Cross Gate Station. There are also plenty of day and night bus routes within a short walk of the house - to Elephant & Castle and beyond, or to Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich, Brockley and Lewisham.
Local eateries and drinkeries of note include The Corner cafe/bar and The Old Library bar, Pho 80, The Rose Inn and The Earl of Derby.
Nip down to neighbouring SE15 for others - including Peckham Bazaar, Ganapati, Artusi, Peckham Levels, Mr Bao, Levan and The Begging Bowl.
Deptford has a thriving and growing social scene too - check out The Watergate, Marcella, SALT and The Tea House for example. There are lots of hip hangouts in Deptford Market Yard and surrounds. Deptford also has its own theatre: The Albany, and a modern leisure centre with lane pool.
New Cross is home to Goldsmiths University and a fab contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths CCA), and your local parks include Telegraph Hill (Upper and Lower, with Saturday Farmers' Market, or hop on a bus down to Brockley Market) and Fordham Parks.
Eckington Gardens is a small local green space with playground and occasional community events like summer movie screenings.
Grab fresh loaves from Blackbird Bakery by QRP station, or at Ayres on nearby Nunhead Lane. While you're in Nunhead, check out FC Soper wet fish shop as well. And El Vermut and Mother Superior are friendly bottle shops, with seating inside and out for a few. BARD4100 is a fairly recent addition to Nunhead Lane (for pizza and beer).
Kids or thinking of? Your most local primary schools are Hatcham Primary (which feeds to the secondary based in New Cross's other local Conservation Area), Edmund Waller and Kender.
