00:00Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:04Gypsy Hill is a leafy pocket of South London that feels like a village perched on a hill.
00:10Sitting between Crystal Palace, West Norwood and Dulwich, it's named after the Romani
00:14people who camped here in the 17th and 18th centuries.
00:19The area grew quickly with the arrival of the railway in the 1850s, giving commuters
00:25fast links into central London.
00:27Today, Gypsy Hill is known for its sweeping views across the city, Victorian and Edwardian
00:32houses and a friendly community.
00:34At the heart of it is Gypsy Hill Station, a tiny but charming stop on the Southern Line.
00:39You'll also find independent cafes, cosy pubs and the popular Gypsy Hill Brewing Company.
00:46It's a peaceful area in South East London with a rich history close to the buzz of Crystal
00:51Palace, but with its own character and hillside charm.
