Streatham – the West End of South London – Reprise!
18 October @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
A linear walk along Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill looking at its inter-war architecture – from Art Deco to International Modern. The walk is led by Robert Doyle of the Streatham Society. He will be talking about how Streatham came to have a greater variety of luxury flats and entertainment buildings in the 1930s than anywhere else south of the River Thames.
As in previous years, we will be aiming to visit the courtyards of some residential developments, but photography is not allowed at these locations and access is at the site owners’ discretion and cannot be guaranteed. Please note that ongoing TfL roadworks in Streatham Hill may limit views of some buildings.
The Streatham Society was one of the founding funders of the Streatham Festival and provides ongoing support to the festival as well as running its own programme of talks, walks and events. For more information visit www.streathamsociety.org.uk/
Accessibility information: The walk is on level ground apart from a few steps if we do visit the private gardens of some mansion blocks (subject to agreement). However, please note that the full length of this walk is more than a mile, and we will need to maintain a brisk pace between stops.
