However, there is a great selection of meat cuts fairly priced. Friendly helpful staff. The Uruguayan picanha is excellent, as well as their linguisas (sausages). Pao de Queijo, cochinhas..... all very good.

Serves decent Turkish food with an upbeat holiday atmosphere and entertainment and its own Shisha garden right on the banks of the River Wandle. Staff are friendly and attentive but it can get busy especially at the weekends so best to reserve a table. Probably best avoided if you want peace and quiet!

Cafe-style informal BYOB Sri-Lankan restaurant, the manager is a bit of a Basil Fawlty and the service is average at best but friendly most of the time! Don't let that put you off as the food is "fairly" good and there is an off-licence opposite for you to stock up on your favourite beer. Try to avoid the weekends. Closes at 11 pm. Budget friendly and good value for the price.

This is a nice little pub serving a selection of local craft ales & spirits, friendly people, a real hidden gem. You can come here and sit by the river and enjoy the extraordinary setting of the Merton Abbey Mills with London's only working water wheel. Fantastic in the summer or those mild winter evenings especially when the live music events are on at the weekends.

Eclectic market with lots of food & drink shops, ideal for bar & food hopping. So many treasures, places to eat and drink. Mostly funky hipster cool places. There is a heating system so it is a lot more comfortable than outdoor markets. Decent vibe, not madly expensive but not cheap either. It's really good to be in London without all the commercialism. Well worth a visit, the nights are really good as well.
