This is where the streets of south-east London start to slope up from the flat ground of Walworth and Bermondsey towards the leafy heights of Dulwich.
For decades, homehunters who explore this crowded, mixed corner have been rounding corners and discovering quiet, tree-lined streets of genuine Georgiana and handsome early Victorian homes left over from the former village's brief career as a health resort. Camberwell Green was once the village centre, but is now rather more a traffic island surrounded by copious shops. There's no tube here but copious buses run through it to central london.
