Parks and open spaces

Streatham has a wealth of open spaces including Streatham Vale Park, Streatham Green, Hillside Gardens and not least the fabulous Streatham Common, home to the beautiful Rookery which has featured in several 'best garden' guides.

The Friends of Streatham Common and Streatham Common Management Advisory Committee hold quarterly forum meetings and act as a valuable consultative group, feeding back to Lambeth Council their views about the current and planned management of the Common.

Throughout the year the Friends Group organise various events on Streatham Common from variety shows, Shakespearean plays to fun-days for the children, including Kite Day, now an annual event.
