About

Streatham Common is a large open green space in south London, dominated by its expansive grassland and wooded areas known as The Rookery. The area includes formal ornamental gardens, a cafe, and a windmill that now functions as a museum. It serves as a key recreational ground for local residents, with facilities for sports and regular community events like the annual kite festival.

The common is bordered by residential streets and the busy A23 road, which runs along its eastern edge. A distinctive feature is the historic ice well, a brick-domed structure built in the 18th century for storing ice harvested from the common's ponds. The landscape slopes gently, offering views towards the North Downs from its higher southern sections.
