Welcome to Streatham

Streatham is a vibrant and diverse district located in the south of London. It is situated in the London Borough of Lambeth and is bordered by Brixton, Tooting, and Norbury. Streatham is known for its bustling high street, which is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes. The area is also home to several green spaces, including Streatham Common and Tooting Bec Common, which provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Streatham has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era. The area was once a rural village, but it grew rapidly in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. Streatham became a popular destination for wealthy Londoners who were looking for a peaceful retreat from the city. Many grand houses were built during this time, and some of them still stand today. Streatham also played an important role in the suffragette movement, with several prominent suffragettes living in the area.

Today, Streatham is a thriving community that is home to people from all walks of life. The area has a strong sense of community, with many local events and festivals taking place throughout the year. Streatham is also well-connected to the rest of London, with several bus routes and train stations serving the area. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to relax or a lively neighbourhood with plenty of things to do, Streatham has something to offer everyone.
