The first Streatham club was formed in 1871 and the first recorded game was On This Day 25 November 1871.

In 1964, the Club changed its name from Streatham RFC to Streatham - Croydon RFC with a view to strengthening its links with the developing borough of Croydon.
​
Prop Jeff Probyn played for Streatham - Croydon for nearly four seasons at the end of the 1970's before representing England for the first time six years later at the age of 31 while a member of Wasps.
A distinguised captain of the club was Dudley Wood (1957-58), (1964-65), an Oxford blue 3 times over, who later became secretary of the RFU for many years
