Question of the week: Autumn is fast approaching, and leaves are slowly falling. What is your favourite thing to do on a crisp, London afternoon?

"The start of autumn means blackberrying for me - free, local, seasonal food, and an enjoyable afternoon with friends sounds good, right? Going blackberry picking in Nunhead cemetery was one of my first ever blog posts and that's still a favourite location - although I didn't make it last year.

Pack a couple of lunch boxes to bring your haul home in, check TfL's journeyplanner for your best route and you'll find the cemetery a short walk from Nunhead Station. (NB, as with any kind of foraging, make sure you know how to recognise your harvest, and don't taste or eat anything you can't positively identify as safe to eat!)

They're offering Woodland Wonder walks on Sundays at the moment, and will, I suspect, by far busier than usual during London Open House weekend, so - maybe best to take advantage of a free morning or afternoon during the week if you have the option, and want to embrace the peace and quiet.)"- Miss Alice
