Telegraph Hill has a strong community, with many residents getting involved with both establishing and growing herbs and vegetables to be used in the very special community café, Hill Station Café, located at the top of Telegraph Hill. The café holds art exhibitions, events and has a pop-up space showcasing local makers/small businesses. Families are attracted by the fantastic train links into town, highly reputed schools and large Victorian houses. Students come here for the abundant rental flats and cheap eats close to Goldsmiths.
