Norwood Grove House

Known locally as the "White House", Norwood Grove House and its well-tended formal gardens were opened in 1926 by the future King Edward VIII. It is the centrepiece of Norwood Grove itself; a large expanse of grass from which you can overlook Streatham and its surrounding areas. It is thoroughly underutilised and all the better for it!

Why not explore the nearby areas of Norbury, Thornton Heath, Norwood, Streatham, West Norwood, Crystal Palace, Mitcham, Croydon, Upper Sydenham and Streatham Hill

"The area around Mitcham was used for lavender growing, which made it a popular settlement during times of plague. It was said that the area had a 'soothing air'."

Streatham Common is the perfect place to hang out when the sun is shining.

Stephanie Kele

Mitcham Common is a beautiful area to explore and one that I love taking the dog to when the weather's nice.
