South Norwood Tourist Board 
Not exactly a proper list of tourist attractions for the Lake District National Park, which is in itself a tourist attraction, also forgotten a fair few of the famous residents for example Beatrix Potter (where there is also a museum, +1 for attractions). If you really are a genuine tourist board it might be better to focus on your own area in general rather than to try and compare yourselves to what is easily the most beautiful part of our country.
According to the famous writer Daniel Defoe; the Lake District is the “wildest, most barren, and frightful of any that I have passed over in England” while on his travels further south he wrote of “country being more open and more woody than any other part so near London, especially about Norwood”.
Mmm, I’d choose South Norwood following recomendations like that.
