Streatham is known for its diversity and has become one of south west London’s most exciting neighbourhoods, offering spacious parks, a bustling high street and a strong sense of community. Popular with families, first-time buyers and young professionals, there is a range of property styles and great transport links to central London and beyond.  

Property types
The area has a variety of properties appealing to a broad range of lifestyles and budgets. Victorian and Edwardian family homes around Streatham Common and Streatham Hill are particularly sought after, many with bay windows and original features. 1930s mansion blocks, conversions and new build developments provide more options for buyers and tenants looking for something more contemporary with open plan living. 

Dining & Socialising
Streatham High Street is one of the longest in Europe, and features a mix of independent cafés, restaurants, and established local favourites. The Bull is a well-known pub with a lively atmosphere and a large beer garden ideal for warmer months. SW16 Bar & Kitchen is an all day restaurant with a cocktail bar, serving bottomless brunch throughout the week and hosts an Italian supper club. For coffee and pastries, Blackbird Bakery and Gail’s are both located on Streatham Hill and are popular choices with residents. The food scene here is diverse with a wide selection of international spots, including everything from Lebanese at Roots to Mexican at El Chicos.
