Run your fingers along their spines, cast your eyes up and down the shelves, flick through the pages and sit cross legged on the floor engrossed in the words resting in your lap.

South London has its fair share of independent bookshops where hidden treasures can be found, prices are right and the shelves hold countless stories to lose yourself in.

Nothing compares to listening to your favourite tracks live or discovering new musicians/bands that you would have never found anywhere else.

Southwark is the latest borough to be covered in the South London Club's quest to bring you South London's finest pizza.

But we've also featured a couple of fantastic gluten free options, some Roman style, thin and crispy offerings and one totally vegan, superfood charged outlet that's guaranteed to set tongues wagging and mouths watering. Enjoy...
