London's village podcasts have been brought to you by British Airways and Visit London. Helping you make the most of the greatest city in the world.
In this guide, Jim Davis takes you around the perfect peaceful haven of Dulwich.
Between Herne Hill and Crystal Palace, the beautiful village of Dulwich is just a few miles from central London but a world away in atmosphere.
Dulwich is most famous for its college and picture gallery. Founded in 1619, Dulwich College was originally a means for the poorest boys to get a ladder up in the world. Discover how Dulwich College selected its pupils in times past and learn about its superb architecture, the work of Charles Barry Jr.
Jim Davis finds out about the strange origins of Dulwich Picture Gallery, the first public art gallery in the world, and takes in its superb collection of baroque paintings. He also discovers why the gallery incorporates a mausoleum and an almshouse.
Dulwich is also excellent picnic territory, with its superb 72-acre (29-hectare) park containing a lake and a cafe. And for an excellent selection of small independent shops without a chain in sight, Dulwich is the place to go.
