Streatham: The Hamlet On The Street History (Part 1) South London, England

Streatham: The Hamlet On The Street History (Part 1) South London, England Streatham is a district in south London, in England, mostly in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is centred 5 miles south of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London. I have to say that Streatham's always had plenty to appeal. The high road is flanked by /some of the nicest Art Deco buildings you'll find/ in the south-west of London, and the spacious pavements mean that the trendy independent cafes / can offer places for people to sit outside. , It's also very well connected: as well as three overground stations/ many busses are taking you anywhere in London you like. Many excellent independent food stores are in Streatham– from Polish delicatessens to Halal butchers – besides a fresh crop of trendy restaurants and bars that are popping up to serve the area's current generation of residents. Streatham was the home of Sir Henry Tate for many years, The legendary Naomi Campbell was born and grew up here. This was just before making her way onto every catwalk in the world. But this vast swathe of South West London is regularly overlooked in favour of neighbouring trendy Balham, Clapham and Brixton and the very long high road has been the target of many a joke. However, things have changed and still changing, so much and SW16 is now the place to be. This video aims to tell the rich history of this Neighborhood in suburban London which made me understand the reasons why/ those born here or that have been living here for a long time/ are so proud of it. Streatham means "the hamlet on the street". The street in question, the London to Brighton Way, was the Roman road from the capital Londinium to the south coast near Portslade, today within Brighton and Hove. It is likely that the destination was a Roman port now lost to coastal erosion, which has been tentatively identified with 'Novus Portus' mentioned in Ptolemy's Geographia. The road is confusingly referred to as Stane Street (Stone Street) in some sources and diverges from the main London-Chichester road at Kennington. After the departure of the Romans, the main road through Streatham remained an important trackway. From the 17th century, it was adopted as the primary coach road to Croydon and East Grinstead, and then on to Newhaven and Lewes. In 1780 it then became the route of the turnpike road from London to Brighton, and subsequently became the basis for the modern A23. This road (and its traffic) have shaped Streatham's development.
