Old South & Wortley Village — London's Most Walkable Historic Neighbourhood
Turn-of-the-20th-century homes, a walkable historic commercial village, and Thames Park on the doorstep — South London covers Old South and its heart, Wortley Village.
South London — commonly called Old South, with Wortley Village as its commercial and cultural centre — became part of the City of London in 1890. Most homes here date to the turn of the 20th century, ranging from small cottages to larger single-family houses on tree-lined streets. Before amalgamation, the area went by several names, including the postal district "Askin" and, informally, "New Brighton." Wortley Village's independent shops, cafés, and restaurants along Wortley Road make it one of the most walkable, browsable stretches in London, anchored by the annual "Gathering on the Green" festival on the lawn of the old London Normal School.
