Borough Market not the same since it was Jamie Oliverfied and you can no longer get into the Market Porter. Even the Wheatsheaf has been done up. Suggest you give it a miss, or rely on films such as the Long Good Friday to remember what it was once like on the South Bank.

Need to explore the real earthy parts of SE London, starting with the mural at the old canal by Devonshire Road, which tells you alot about the area.

Then onto Wood Vale, to check out the pub that was once the Moore Park Tavern, admire the old cars outside Librettos butchers, go into Librettos, and then onto the cemetary to see where Joe Orton's film Loot was filmed. Then onto Brenchley Gardens to follow the site of the Crystal Palace High Level line, over One Tree Hill, peer at the Yurt an the allotments, and back to Honor Oak Park.

Get a bus to check out Penge Market, up the hill to Crystal Palace Park and then you can go over to Sydenham Hill and join some of the other suggested routes. You can visit the most beautiful station and cutting in London, Sydenham Hill Station, and then onto Dulwich School to see the toll road, and then chant some anti-Thatcher songs at the gated estate where she used to live. Cross over to see the yummy mummies in Dulwich Park, which will be enough to put you off both the Village and Lordship Lane. Catch a number 12 to Peckham (free) whilst muttering about routemasters and taunting the driver that Boris will be getting rid of him soon. And then onto the joys of Peckham (see the other thread), onto the Rye (much more interesting than Dulwich Park) where you can return to Horniman Heights or Honor Oak

Take stout walking shoes, a Bivvie bag, food, some charcoal, a compass, whistle, fluorescent vest, GPS and remember to tell people that you are gone so they can send a search party out if you are late returning, and your wireless laptop so you can e-mail or better still facebook (or even have an on-going thread here) and impress your friends
