Streatham-Art Deco Capital of South London

We enjoy Grade 2 listed buildings, walk in a conservation area and discuss Pulman Court - the visionary Modernist residential site. Throughout, we encounter 1930s blocks of trendy apartments with their own built-in social life once boasting dance floors, gardens and swimming pools. As for Deco ornament, we hear about Egyptian-themed interiors, stained glass, new designs of ironwork, stepped and zig-zag decoration and even spot elephants observing from above and leaping gazelles on the ground! Our 90-minute walking tour will see Streatham in a new light with West End actors, celebrities and entrepreneurs changing the face of one of the longest High Streets in Europe.
