Streatham Common & Vale is a ward in the south of Lambeth, centred on the open green of Streatham Common and the surrounding residential neighbourhoods including Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale. It combines Victorian and Edwardian terraces with later infill housing, good commuter links (including Streatham Common rail station and the A23) and some of the higher ground in south London that offers long views across the city.
The area has a lively local high street life around Streatham High Road, a mix of independent shops and chains, and an active community scene with festivals and friends-of-park groups who protect the Common. Economically and socially it’s mixed, with pockets of regeneration and a diverse resident population, making it a place where green space and urban everyday life meet.
