Norwood
Norwood is the smallest and least populated town centre in Lambeth. It comprises three wards – Gipsy Hill, Knights Hill and Thurlow Park. The town centre area is located around the Norwood Road shopping area. It is bounded in the north by Brockwell Park, with Streatham Common and Crystal Palace Park at the south west and south east corners of the area.
Places to visit
West Norwood Cemetery in the middle of the town centre ranks alongside Highgate as a bizarre and beautiful insight into the Victorian age. Its tombs and monuments, including memorials to many famous names, are among London's hidden treasures.

Lambeth has five area committees to make decisions on a local level and provide an opportunity for the local community to bring their views to the council.
People First Expo, which is part of the council's Communities First Programme, is a key community event where individuals, groups and organisations can come together in their own communities and focus on issues which directly affect them.
