Oh, there is a nice area around it as well, even though I didn't really spend all that much time exploring it.

There is a fairly new Tesco Metro right outside the station so you can pick up any last minute shopping before embarking on the walk home. The surrounding area is still a little rough, but it's getting better, and I'd wager that trend will continue.

Nunhead, the forgotten realm between Peckham and East Dulwich…read more Nunhead, the little village that has one of the best fishmongers in London and an authentic bakery that people travel miles to experience Nunhead, the village that actually sits in Zone 2 and nobody has heard of Nunhead, the village that has exploded in popularity beyond all belief in the past 2 years if the number of middle class working people getting off the train here at rush hour is anything to go by! When I moved here 2 years ago, it was still the outlands, uncharted territory for many. The Thameslink stops here on its way to Blackfriars and City Thameslink stations, making it a prime location for a lot of commuters who are looking for a bit more for their money in terms of housing. And a lot of people have picked u on this, they have started to come here in their droves. The station itself is quite small and unassuming, it has a little shop on the platform that serves up drinks, coffee, a few cereal bars etc. but is pretty dark and depressing if I'm honest. Other parts of the station have just had a major clean up however - a lick of paint, tended garden areas, holes in the roof patched up, and is really starting to be a decent station. The four star review is mainly for the fact it is in Zone 2, has good access into the city (Victoria, Farringdon, Kings Cross etc.) and gives access to housing at a price you can't really find anywhere else in Zone 2.

What I really love about this station though, and what makes me proud to live in Stockwell, is the atmosphere the staff have created in the station. From occasionally playing classical music over the speaker systems, to setting up a small book swap stall in the main concourse, the staff really have gone above and beyond to add a personal touch to the place.
