Crystal Palace Guide

A small selection of some of my favourite spots - but there are loads more independent coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, art and gift shops, beauty parlours and even a kombucha cafe!
Super stylish independent cinema - luxe seating, great food and drinks, and great films! All walking distance from home. Oh, and Mondays it's 2 tickets for the price of 1.

Very pretty coffee shop with gourmet cakes and pastries and table service. The upstairs floor is bright with comfy sofas and lovely marble tables. They also serve a popular afternoon tea - worth booking.
