Welcome to the Streatham Society Web site!
The Streatham Society was formed in 1974 at a time when insensitive planning was destroying our heritage. Whilst not against change, it was felt some retention of local identity provided a legacy for future generations.
The Society's original brief has widened to encompass all aspects of local amenities and the local environment - both natural and man-made. But our main aim is to help preserve and improve the quality of life for all who live and work in Streatham.
We work in conjunction with national bodies; we seek partnerships with the local authorities and the business community; we liaise with neighbouring civic societies and support and intiate new specialist groups in the neighbourhood. With our links and experience the Society is the major voice for Streatham residents.
Our logo, that you can see at the top of this page, is based on the drinking fountain designed in 1842 by William Dyce R.A. for the people of Streatham. It now stands on Streatham Green.
