Earlier this week Time Out published the Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World 2025, the ultimate lowdown on the most hip ’n’ happening places on the planet right now. Among areas in cities ranging from Tokyo to São Paulo, Chicago to New York, one London neighbourhood ranked near the top of the list.

None other than Camberwell was named the fourth-coolest place in the world right now. The chilled-out and green south London area was recognised for its ‘young-at-heart vibe’ and ‘independent spirit’, as well as for its bountiful excellent food options.

Take a stroll through Camberwell and you’ll quickly realise why we love this part of the capital so much. Photographer Chris Bethell headed down to show off the areas coolest bits.
