Soapbox
Streatham High Road Hell
We are used to awful congestion on
Streatham High Rd, but the A23 has been
hellish at rush hours due to Thames Water’s
emergency sewer repairs at the top of Prentis
Rd.
South-bound traffic (at first including lorries,
coaches and emergency vehicles) is currently
diverted down narrow residential Shrubbery
Rd and back up Stanthorpe Rd, resulting in
hundreds of idling vehicles, toxic fumes and
outbursts of road rage outside schools and
homes in the area including Sunnyhill and
Wellfield Rd. Chaos reigns with southbound
buses diverted via Leigham Court Rd and
Streatham Common North. There's another
diversion for HGVs via Tulse Hill, and one for
cyclists, some of whom have added to the
aggro by being a danger to pedestrians by
riding on pavements to avoid it.
Frustratingly, Thames Water, TfL and the
Council have declined our requests to
publicise the diversions in this magazine to
explain what's going on, why, and how long
it’s likely to take – our latest info is until 9th
February as we go to press.
This disruption may have provided a useful
“dry run” for the issues envisaged when
the long-anticipated St Leonard’s Junction
improvement works commence, according
to Neil Salt, chair of the local community
group, Streatham Action Transport. “The
downside of the
current sewage
repair work, which
will take weeks to
repair, not least
because of the
5-metre depth of
drilling required,
is that there is
every likelihood
that the St
Leonard’s Junction
improvement
works may now get delayed beyond the early
February start date originally set by TfL”,
commented Neil.
Work on this lethal junction has been part
of a long campaign for greater safety on the
A23. The results of a public consultation
carried out before Christmas have yet to
be published, but a source at TfL has told
the Safer A23 Campaign that it was largely
positive, and a new timed count-down
crossing should be completed by the end of
March, along with other works at the junction.
A23 campaigner Jonathan Bartley said,
“Too many lives have been ruined at this
dangerous junction. Thanks to everyone who
has signed petitions and forced decision-
makers to take road danger seriously in
Streatham."
The latest collision statistics for Streatham
Hill and Streatham High Road tell a
depressing tale. In 2016 there were 113
collisions on the A23 between its junction
with the South Circular and the border with
Croydon, including 10 resulting in life-
changing injuries. Thankfully there were no
fatalities.
The underlying trend is for increasing danger
- with 489 collisions in the five years 2012-
2016 up from 474 in 2011-2015 and an
increase in serious injuries from 41 to 45.
Seven people were killed on the A23 through
Streatham in 2012-2016.
"The High Road continues to be a deadly
blight on our community," said Jonathan. "We
can't stop now in campaigning for changes
to make the road safer and more pleasant for
those who live and work close by it.”

HORSES, OMNIBUSES, TRAMS, AND TROLLEY BUSES
by David Wright
Public transport is one of our biggest
concerns in Streatham, as the sorry situation
during the current works on the High Rd
emphasizes. Things used to be different.
200 years ago, people tended to live within
walking distance of work, but with the
industrial revolution came the need to travel.
In 1829, omnibuses carrying 22 passengers,
pulled by three horses, were introduced, then
double-deckers were built in the 1840s.
The load on horses was eased by the
development of steel rails in the road to
reduce friction in 1861. Hills still presented
a problem for trams, and cable haulage on
Brixton Hill was the answer. The London
Tramway Company opened a tram line from
Kennington and up Brixton Hill to Streatham
in 1891 and the horse-drawn track used
“grippers” to haul old horse drawn tramcars.
The cable consisted of strands of steel
wire wound round a rope, about an inch in
diameter. It was nearly six miles long (twice
the length of the route), and ran underground
between the tram lines. Another 0.75-mile
line was constructed from Streatham Hill
to Streatham Village and the Tate Library in
1896.
A tramcar going from Streatham to
Westminster would have the gripper car
detached at Kennington and replaced with
two horses, passengers remaining in their
seats. A tram depot was built opposite
Telford Avenue to house the steam powered
winding gear.
The trams were electrified from 1904 but
were phased out in the early 1930’s in favour
of diesel buses and trolleybuses. There were
proposals to convert the South London tram
routes to trolleybus operation. but War put
these on hold and afterwards it was decided
to replace the trams with motor buses. The
last tram in Streatham ran on 5th April 1951.
A new bus garage was built in 1951 on the
site of the old tram depot at Telford Avenue.
Thames Water has drilled through the old
cobbles and tram lines as they dug over 4m
down to the leaking sewer beneath.

Valentines Gourmet
by reheMa FigUeireDo
To eat
If music be the food of love, but you are
peckish for more than notes, Streatham Hill
is the place to play on. Long-term high street
favourite Perfect Blend offers a three-course
set menu for Valentine’s Day at the bargain
price of £15 a head.
My guest and I opted for deep fried halloumi
with garlic dip and fishcakes with sweet chilli
sauce to begin– with the latter the winner of
the two; crispy on the outside, moist on the
inside and full of warm complex flavours. I
followed with salmon steak accompanied by
dark lentils, tomatoes, chorizo, asparagus
and a rocket and watercress salad. While the
lentils were unusual, having been prepared
almost like a daal, the pairing worked well.
Our other main was the Jamaican Me
Crazy burger served with French fries and
a strategically placed gherkin. The beef
burger patty was cooked to perfection –
medium rare as ordered - with tomatoes and
pineapple slaw, and covered in a sweet spicy
Jerk sauce.
You need to bring a large appetite to Perfect
Blend, as portion sizes are very generous.
By dessert my dining partner and I opted to
share a white chocolate cookie, warm from
the oven, served in greaseproof paper. We
accompanied our dessert with rum and raisin
ice cream, which went down very smoothly,
possibly owing to the very strong alcohol
content. As an aside, not only was the food
excellent but a huge amount of thought had
gone into the presentation of the Valentine’s
menu, which comes in a stamped addressed
envelope, complete with corny quote and
cutlery in a brown paper sleeve displaying a
Ginuary Rota.
Do as the menu instructs – keep it local this
Valentine’s Day.

To drink
Nestled between a hairdresser and an off-
licence is one of Streatham’s hidden gems
– Hood. The restaurant is offering several
special dishes on the 14th but I was there to
sample the pink drinks available on the night.
If you’re looking to impress your date – opt
for the 2014 Davenport Limney sparkling rosé
– £8 a glass or £42 a bottle. Also on offer is
2016 Gascony rosé, Le Petit Gascoun, a fresh
and fruity wine priced at £4.60 a glass, £9.30
for a carafe, or £18 for a bottle. But the star
of the show had to be the pink gin and tonic
(£5.50 for a single or £8.50 for a double).
Though pink gin is the drink of the moment,
Hood offers instead a pink grapefruit tonic
water with Brighton gin – a smart move as
the zing of the tonic infuses the whole drink,
rather than being confined to the shot or
two of alcohol. The G&T is also beautifully
presented, in a Hood branded glass with a
slice of fresh grapefruit. It almost looks too
pretty to drink but trust me, it’s not.

H.L.F. Grant for
Rookery Cascade
The Rookery gardens at the
top of Streatham Common
will receive £84,600 from the Heritage Lottery
Fund to restore the Cascade water feature and
rockery gardens to their former glory. The local
community will be central in designing, planting
and celebrating the garden. The Rookery is
one of 14 outstanding open spaces in Lambeth
recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme.
The Cascade and rockery were installed in
around 1912 but the Cascade stopped working
a few years ago. Originally, it flowed down
to Streatham Wells in the Rookery and was
surrounded by fashionable Edwardian informal
planting mixed with fashionable exotics.
“Streatham has a long association with water,
having been established in the Edwardian times
as a spa town, commented Shea Richardson of
the Streatham Society, “the Cascade represents
an important link with our past, while providing
pleasure to visitors now and in the future.”
Streatham Wells opened after natural springs
were discovered in 1659. Water from the
springs had a sulphurous smell, and was sold
at sixpence a gallon. It was thought to cure
many diseases. The Rookery Garden was
gifted to London County Council (LCC) after a
fundraising effort led by local resident Stenton
Covington in 1912.
The restoration project will improve public
access to the site by refurbishing crazy paving
and replacing damaged protective fencing.
Volunteers, community groups, and schools
will be involved and there will be an outreach
programme including tours and events to
spread knowledge and appreciation of the
Rookery's heritage. The grant will also fund the
redevelopment of an old shed into an education
centre.
The total project will cost £148,132, of which
£84,600 will come from the Heritage Lottery
Fund. The lead project partners are SCCoop
and Lambeth Council, who will contribute
additional funding towards the total project
cost of £148,132. Other partners are Friends
of Streatham Common, Streatham Common
Community Garden and Streatham Society.
Volunteer Barbara Wright, who coordinated the
bid, said, “This is a tremendous boost to this
very special local heritage garden”, and Maggie
Charnley, vice-Chair of Streatham Common
Cooperative (SCCoop) said, “The Rookery is a
sanctuary for people and wildlife in the heart of
South London.”
Streatham Common Cooperative is leading
the project in partnership with other local
organisations with work ongoing finishing with
celebratory community events in summer 2019.

Bishop Thomas Grant School’s Great War Project
To commemorate the Centenary of World
War One, students at Bishop Thomas Grant
school have been researching fallen soldiers
from Streatham and the role they played
in The Great War as part of the school's
legacy 110 project and its commitment to
developing students’ understanding of local
history.
Students have been working in collaboration
with Professor Richard Grayson of
Goldsmiths, University of London for three
years. Their research includes using battalion
war diaries and other sources to find out
how these local men died. They have found
it an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening
experience to work with an academic
historian and primary archive sources to
develop a deeper understanding of the
contribution made by local men.
As part of Heart Streatham’s coverage of
the Centenary, every month an extract from
the students’ work will be published; full
accounts are on the Bishop Thomas Grant
website.
The History Department at B.T.G. would like
to thank Professor Grayson for his work with
our students and establishing this important
link between a local higher education provider
and the school.

Riﬂeman William Stirling Claridge, 1st/5th
London Regiment (London Riﬂe Brigade)
Killed in action, 13th May 1915
William Stirling Claridge, son of Mrs A.
C. Claridge, lived at 72 Riggindale Road,
Streatham. He was a member of the London
Rifle Brigade, the 1/5th Battalion of the
London Regiment. There were many events
reported in the battalion War Diary on the day
he was killed. As early as 4:00am, 'heavy
shelling started', which then 'continued
incessantly for over 12 hours'. Then,
interestingly, at 5:00am eighteen ‘hussars’
(soldiers in a cavalry regiment) ‘commenced
retiring from their trench’ but were ‘prevailed
upon to return’, suggesting the soldiers
may have attempted to escape but were
prevented, although it is not clear by whom.
This shows the difficulty of escape from the
trenches for the fighting soldiers. At noon,
the ‘enemy massed were heavily fired on’
by the Brigade’s ‘rifles and machine guns’
which was not followed by an ‘attack’ and at
6:30pm there were ‘orders for relief’, although
it is not stated whether this support arrived
or not. On the night he was killed, Rifleman
Claridge’s battalion’s War Diary shows that
his unit ‘moved to [the] divisional support line
immediately across St Jean-
Wieltje Road opposite [their] reserve trench’
at Wieltje, east of Ypres. The assumption that
this event resulted in his death is based on
the information that the ‘casualties were very
severe’ with ‘2 officers, 33 men killed’ and ‘4
officers and 49 men wounded’.

Streatham Hill
Theatre “at Risk”
The Streatham Hill Theatre was added to the
Theatres Trust ‘Theatres at Risk Register’
2018 last month, as reported on ITV London
News (23 Jan) with a film of the theatre and an
interview with David Harvey of the Friends of
Streatham Hill Theatre, which he founded as a
focus for local people interested in returning the
building to an arts and performance use.
The Association of British Theatre Technicians
Historical Research Committee has carried
out extensive research into the Grade II listed
theatre’s history and current state. It is still in
good condition, but fast action is needed to
return it to use before it deteriorates further.
The 1929 theatre is described by the Theatres
Trust as “one of London’s most lavish ‘sleeping
beauties’,” and was the last theatre designed
by W G R Sprague, the architect responsible for
some of the most beautiful theatres in London.
The original wooden stage machinery is also
still in place.
Why is the theatre at risk?
Beacon Bingo now runs a ‘Cashino’ slot-
machine lounge runs out of the rear of the
stalls, and the future of the building is uncertain.
Potentially, there are costly dilapidations to
be paid at the end of the remaining 10 years
of its lease. It is feared the current owner may
have plans for redevelopment, and if parts of
the building are let or developed separately –
maybe for offices or flats – the auditorium may
be left in an unsustainable position without
income from the rest of the building.
Beacon Bingo would like to find a cultural use
for the building and has been approached by
several potential users and developers.
The Theatres Trust thinks the theatre could be
adapted for smaller-scale performances and
would function well as an arts centre and home
for community organisations supported by bars
or cafes open to the public.
Theatres at Risk Launch

M&S BRINGS SECOND STORE TO STREATHAM
Marks & Spencer (M&S) is opening its second
food store in the area with a new Simply
Food at Streatham Hill on Wednesday 21st
February, following the launch of its Foodhall
at Streatham High Road last October.
Store Manager, Paul Capon, and his 50-strong
team will welcome local residents from 10am
on the day, marking the opening with a ribbon
cut.
Located a stone’s throw from Streatham
Hill station, the new store features a 24
seater Café, which is sure to be popular with
customers looking to grab a coffee to go.
The store will be stocked with the very best of
M&S’s innovative and quality food and drink
ranges, including the newest additions to its
Eat Well health range, featuring a versatile
collection of deliciously healthy Asian-inspired
vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Store Manager, Paul Capon, has worked for
M&S for 14 years, so brings lots of experience
to the Streatham Hill store. His team includes
several M&S long serving colleagues, including
colleague Neil Mockford, who has been with
M&S for over 29 years.
Paul said: “We are delighted to be bringing
a second M&S store to Streatham and feel
that local residents will really benefit from the
Simply Food’s location near Streatham Hill
station.
“We’re looking forward to becoming part of the
local community. At M&S, our customers are
at the heart of everything we do and we look
forward to meeting them for the first time on
opening day.”
The store will launch in time to showcase
M&S’s new spring product range, as well as
provide inspiration for Mother’s Day and Easter
celebrations. M&S’s popular, luxury hot cross
buns will return this year with two new flavours
- Blueberry and Salted Caramel & Chocolate
– as well as an innovative range of chocolate
gifts, including Easter eggs for kids and adults
alike.
Customers will also be able to use M&S’s
popular Click and Collect service which
provides the option of having M&S.com
Clothing and Home orders delivered to the
store the next day, free of charge.
The store is located at 142-170 Streatham Hill,
London SW2 4RU and opening hours Monday
to Saturday will be 8am – 10pm and 11am –
5pm on Sundays.

The Streatham St. Valentine’s Day Guide for Men
Gentlemen, we don’t normally single you
out for special treatment, but Valentine’s
Day is something the ladies already know
all about. Valentine’s Day; the one day your
performance, so to speak, will be under the
microscope.
Guys, we are here to help; you can do it all
inside the four Streatham wards.
Here’s what you need to know.
Firstly, breakfast is on you. Seriously. If
you can’t whip up avocado with eggs and
bacon, sneak out early to Brickwood Cafe
or Blackbird Bakery & grab some croissants
and other tasty bits to serve to your beloved
in bed. So far, so good? On no account
should you serve this without accompanying
flowers – a dozen red roses can be picked
up in M&S for £22 on the way back.
Now the next bit takes James Bond type
mission coordination – around 10:30 or
11am, drop significant other off at Emma
Wilson Urban Spa, Streatham Hill or Funky

Medusa Urban Spa, Greyhound Lane, for
some serious pampering. Both offer a range
of massages, facials, body scrubs and wraps,
and other treatments. Emma Wilson uses
VOYA and Elemis products and Donna at
Funky Medusa makes her own scrubs, oils,
facial wraps and body butters to a secret
formula.
Meanwhile, you need to move on to the
High Rd where Westbury Chemists have a
huge range of perfumes (including Chanel) at
amazing prices. Go to the wonderful Indigo
Tree with its own range of luxury organic
scented candles and body creams, and gifts
including the best selection of silver jewellery
around. Or head to The Village Card Shop
just across the bridge in Streatham Vale. It’s
one of the oldest gift shops in south London.
Once this bit of the mission is complete, nip
to Jasmin Studio Crafts in Greyhound Lane
where you will already have booked a session
with Jasmin to create your own beautiful
unique jewellery to present to your beloved.
It’s off to Hood in Streatham Hill for a
lazy lunch followed by a look round My
Vintage J Box on Sternhold Avenue with a
serendipitous find purchased on the spot
if you’re lucky. There’s plenty of time for a
drink or two at The Railway, where to utter
surprise, you present the Valentines gift – the
jewellery you personally made earlier! It may
take time for its uniqueness to sink in, but
over the years it will achieve family heirloom
status.
Now it will be late afternoon so enough time
to go home and freshen up, as your table
awaits at Trio Pizzeria for cocktails and live
Valentines music. Or for a superb evening’s
entertainment, head to Hideaway for dinner
and romance -Soul man Wayne Hernandez
will get you dancing cheek-to-cheek!
Romance is not dead, good sirs, it’s all
around us on our doorsteps. A car is
unnecessary; the James Bond tux is optional.
Make your beloved feel special by showing
them you’re a man with a plan.
A Streatham Plan!

Celebrities reveal their secrets
to younger looking skin
by Dr NilU
Looks and appearance matter if you’re a
celebrity. A bad paparazzi picture can have
serious consequences, which is why so many
celebrities place so much importance on
their appearance, particularly their skin. To
understand what the best treatments are for
maintaining younger looking healthy skin it’s
worth considering what professionals do.
It’s hard to believe Halle Berry will be 50 this
year. She's announced in the past that she’s
a big fan of the Kinara Skin Care Clinic in
LA which specialises in a range of skin care
products as well as treatments. She uses their
cleansers and moisturisers in the morning
and the evening and never leaves the house
without an organic sunscreen. She also tries to
go without make up whenever she can to give
her skin a rest.
At 46 Cate Blanchett’s looks and skin are an
inspiration. The Australian actress swears by
the SK-II range of skin products that includes
the signature ingredient PiteraTM. Apparently
the SK-II scientists discovered PiteraTM when
they noticed the hands of aged sake brewers
in Japan looked much younger than their
owner’s faces. Whatever the truth behind this
story SK-II is a quality skin therapy system
and certainly works for Cate.
Chemical peels appear to be Jennifer
Aniston’s secret to youthful looking skin. She
revealed on the Conan O’Brien’s talk show
that after a deep skin peel “You look like a
battered burn victim for a week”. It’s hardly
a glowing indictment for the treatment but
results are clear to see as at 47 she looks
amazing
Reese Witherspoon puts the beauty of her
skin down to her diet and exercise regimes.
You are what you eat and your skin is a
fantastic indication of your internal health. She
has, however, told Style magazine that she’s
a fan of Chanel’s Hydramax Active Moisture
Cream.
A good night’s sleep is all it takes according
to Sienna Miller. That and a little Amorepacific
ABC Serum. The serum is designed to
manage your essential skin functions,
rebalancing the skin’s natural rhythm. It
certainly seems to work for Sienna as her skin
does indeed appear to be perfectly balanced.
So some of the world’s most beautiful women
tell us they care for their skin. The products
may vary, but the same themes remain: Eat
well, Exercise, Get a good night’s sleep,
Moisturise, Cleanse, Use a good quality
sunblock.

Streatham Ice Hockey Report
DaviD Carr
Streatham RedHawks head into February
looking to break the top four in the league and
build momentum before the end of season
Play-Offs. The team are in good form despite
exiting the National Cup against Telford Tigers
at the Quarter Final stage last month.
The upcoming home fixtures see the
Peterborough Phantoms, Invicta Dynamos
and Cardiff Fire head to South London with the
RedHawks looking to win all three games.
Recently, crowd levels have risen to their
highest numbers of the season as ice hockey
fans in South London have thrown their support
behind the Streatham RedHawks. The team
respond to this, as a fantastic 4-3 overtime
win over Milton Keynes Thunder in front of an
almost-full house of a thousand people testifies.
Canadian Coach Jeremy Cornish is impressed
with how things have been going:
“One thing I really like about our team is that
they don’t give up and play the game the right
way. The work
rate is there, and
when we need to
be tough we are.
The crowds at
home and on the
road really make a
difference to the team and when they skate out
to see the seats all full in the arena it gives us
all a buzz”
Streatham will play the rest of the season
without Captain Adam Wood who suffered a
knee injury in the game against Milton Keynes,
and top-scorer Michael Farn will take over as
Alternate Captain in his absence.

Streatham Police Update
by: iNSPeCtor tereSa hUbbarD
PC Sasha Eady of the St Leonards SNT, was
invited to the Streatham WI where she spoke
about crime prevention. Later she took part
in an Operation Be Safe campaign at a local
business premises. 35 smart water kits were
handed out to residents and crime prevention
advice given.
Officers from Streatham have been meeting
the public at Lloyds Bank, Streatham Station
and Mes Amis Cafe, and giving out free Met
Trace Kits. Due to the recent closures of the
Front Office Counter in Streatham, all wards
will be hosting a 'drop in' or coffee morning
on a regular basis called "Cuppa with a
Copper" at a local venue. Officers will give
advice and residents can report crime if
necessary. Dates, times and venues will be
advertised on social media, the Met Police
website and we will try to add these to the
Heart Streatham website as well.
On Monday, December 4, at approximately
01:40, police were called to a report of
shots being fired in Hopton Road. Firearms
specialists conducted a search, but no
bullets were found. Enquiries suggested two
cars were driving in the area at speed, with
the passenger from one vehicle firing at the
second car. Investigations are ongoing.
Knights Hill have taken part in a joint
operation with the Council at Crown Lane
Primary School highlighting irresponsible
parking after some near misses!
I know many people were worried about
disorder on Streatham High Road in
December. There was a fight between about
30 young people who had left a party. 2 boys
aged 13 and 14 were arrested after both
were found to be in possession of knives. A
14-year-old girl was also arrested for assault.
The disorder was contained with help from
British Transport Police.
In January officers from Streatham chased
four suspects who may have robbed young
victims of mobile phones by implying they
were armed with a weapon. Helped by a
member of the public, officers detained and
arrested 4 youths. A stolen phone was found
on one of the suspects, and a meat cleaver
was found in a bag belonging to another. I am
highlighting these pictures because we need
assistance from the community in tackling
knife crime.
You are the eyes
and the ears of
the Police and we
always need your
help.
