Brockley is part of the London borough of Lewisham and It has a good mix of basic shops along with new cafes and restaurants. Brockley contains several attractive open spaces, amongst them Blythe Hill, Brockley and Ladywell Cemeteries (opened in 1858 and now a nature reserve) and Hilly Fields. And if you are interested in architecture or history you should visit the oldest surviving house in Lewisham, the 'Stone House' on Lewisham Way, built in 1773 by the architect George Gibson the Younger. sourced from wikipedia.
