Streatham: South London High Road, the Ice Rink, and Lambeth's Southern Stretch
Streatham grew along the Roman road from London to Brighton, now the A23. Streatham High Road, at nearly two miles, is one of the longest high streets in the country. The area developed as a desirable suburb in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, with several large houses and gardens. Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre has operated since 1931, making it one of the oldest ice rinks in London. The population of the Streatham area is around 55,000. The neighbourhood falls within the London Borough of Lambeth.
Streatham, Streatham Common, and Streatham Hill stations provide Southern and Thameslink services into central London. Streatham Common covers 66 acres of green space. The Rookery, a formal garden on the common, dates from the seventeenth century. For adult companionship, Streatham is covered by the Metropolitan Police and governed by England and Wales criminal law.
