This is an area where local shops prevail over chain stores adding to the village-like feel. The community spirit is at its best on a summer’s weekend when the City & County farmers’ market takes over St. Mark’s Church.

Vauxhall is buzzing right now. Tucked into the railway arches, Mother Kelly’s Tap Room serves over 30 craft ales with two outdoor areas visited by London’s leading food trucks. Another hipster hangout is Dirty Burger that also has a mean IPA on the menu. An older neighbourhood spot is Bonnington Café where vegetarian specialities change dependant on the chef of the day. Also on the pretty Bonnington Square sits the bustling and fragrant deli run by the Di Lieto family. Or try Amici with its Neapolitan comfort food and sunny courtyard. Other local spots are scattered throughout the characterful streets of Camberwell like craft beer specialists Stormbird, popular with students from the nearby College of Arts. And with Elephant & Castle transforming into one of London’s new cool hotspots you will always have new places to check out. You’re also not short on culture with Southwark Playhouse one of London’s leading studio theatres joining the nearby Old Vic Theatre. And alongside small galleries like Beaconsfield Contemporary Art and Gasworks, Vauxhall has got seriously arty with the arrival of Newport Street Gallery that presents work from Damien Hirst’s collection. Alternatively check out the graduation shows at the Camberwell College of Arts before hitting the hip galleries of Peckham.

S H A R E D OW N E R S H I P
Shared Ownership is a part-buy part-rent government funded scheme designed to help people on moderate incomes get on the property ladder. The scheme is simple – you typically buy an affordable share of between 25% and 75% of the property’s full value and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder, with an option to purchase further shares later on.
What monthly costs can I expect? In addition to your rent and mortgage repayments, you will pay a service charge. This will cover a variety of costs related to the management of the building, for example insurance, management fees, repairs, utilities and servicing. It will also include a contribution into a reserve fund that will be used to pay towards future major works and external decorations.
Who is eligible? On 1 April 2016 the Shared Ownership household income cap was raised to £90,000. Additionally, the guidance regarding bedroom eligibility changed. However, additional criteria has been set by local planning authorities for Hillingdon Street, therefore selected apartments have income caps of up to £50,000, these apartments will be prioritised to applicants living or working in Southwark.
36
What costs are involved in buying a Shared Ownership property? In addition to the money you will need to put towards your deposit, it is suggested you will need around £4,000 for the cost of solicitor fees and mortgage arrangement fees.
How much deposit will I need? For a deposit, you are likely to need to raise between 5% and 10% of the share you are buying. You’ll also need around £4,000 to cover solicitor fees and other costs, as mentioned above. You will then need to take out a mortgage from a bank or building society to pay for the rest of your share.
How long does it take to buy? The process of buying a new-build property depends on a number of factors, including the length of time required to arrange a mortgage and the speed at which the solicitors can process the sale. This typically takes around 8 weeks, but can take as little as 28 days if everything proceeds quickly. It is worth noting that buying a property that is not yet built or completed can be a longer process.
How many bedrooms am I entitled to? To be eligible for this scheme, you need to be living or working in the borough. Please note existing local government criteria means that applicants will only be put forward for properties according to their immediate bedroom need.
What size share can I buy and can I buy 100% straight away? Generally, the minimum share required to buy a SharedOwnership property is 25%, with the maximum at 75%. Your total income and savings will be assessed by an independent financial advisor to determine what share you are able to afford. You are unable to buy 100% of a Shared Ownership property straight away. If you can afford to do so, you should look at private sale on the open market. Most shared ownership leases will allow you to buy 100% of the property over time – this iscalled staircasing.
To whom do I pay the rental costs?
What is a service charge? Service charges are payments by the homeowner to the housing association or management company for the services they provide. These include maintenance and repairs to common parts, insurance to the building and occasionally the provision of lifts, communal lighting and door entry systems. Service charges can vary from year to year, with specific details set out in your lease.
What is the maximum income allowance for Shared Ownership? In London, the maximum household income to buy a Shared Ownership property is £90,000.

You pay rent to the housing association that built the property. The amount you pay depends on the size of the share you purchase and is generally set at a lower rate than private rental costs.
