Streatham offers traditional, family-sized Victorian houses and good local shops, parks and schools.
Living in Streatham
Streatham is a multi-ethnic London suburb about six miles south of Charing Cross, popular with families as there is a good supply of large Victorian and Edwardian houses.
First-time buyers are also attracted to Streatham by the plethora of conversion flats that offer good value for money.
Victorian houses near Streatham Common and to the north in parts of Streatham Hill can be very substantial, offering up to six bedrooms. Edwardian houses in those areas are also larger than the average and offer three to four bedrooms.
Streatham High Road is the main shopping street and most of the major High Street stores are represented, including Boots, Tesco and WH Smith. Traffic can be heavy as it is the A23 through route to Croydon.
Complementing the many shops, the High Road has plenty of wine bars, cafes and restaurants, two multi-screen cinemas, an ice rink, bingo and a swimming pool/leisure centre.
Streatham Common is a well-tended green space with a lovely terraced garden and facilities for tennis, bowling and horse riding.
Streatham Park to the west abuts Tooting Graveney Common where there is an athletics track.
Immediately north of Streatham Park, across Tooting Bec Road, is the vast green swathe of Tooting Bec Common with facilities for tennis, soccer, horse riding and swimming in the famous Lido pool which is 90 metres long and 30 metres wide.
Transport
There are five mainline railways stations serving the Streatham area: Streatham, Streatham Common and Streatham Hill and, to the east, Tulse Hill station and to the south, Norbury.
These stations provide services to Clapham Junction, Victoria, Watford, London Bridge and Blackfriars.
Streatham Station also lies on the Thameslink route from Luton to Sutton via Wimbledon, St. Pancras and St. Albans.
Streatham is well-served by bus routes and has good road access to Central London and the M25.

History and culture
"Hamlet on the street" is the ancient meaning of the name Streatham and refers to a settlement on the Roman Road from the capital Londinium to the south coast of Britain.
Streatham remained a tiny village until the 18th century when natural springs, known as Streatham Wells, were first celebrated for their health-giving properties. The spa attracted wealthy City of London merchants who built large houses in Streatham, although few remain today.
For twenty years between the First and Second World Wars, Streatham was known as "the West End of South London" because of the proliferation of local theatre, cinemas, clubs and restaurants.
