The church was consecrated in 1901 as the Congregational Church and designed by James Cubitt. It became the United Reformed Church in 1972. It is Grade II listed. Its tower is a striking feature along Streatham High Road. The hall was built in 1912 and at the time of taking this photograph was derelict. It was demolished at the end of 2011 as part of the Streatham Hub development.

Part of the former Streatham bus garage, most of which is closed and used for other purposes. The exit is on Streatham High Road. The bus displaying route 159 is Arriva's VLA 170.

The site has been cleared and work is well underway on this development which has been mired in debate for several years and caused considerable local angst, and, to be fair, anticipation. The placards indicate that it will include a leisure centre (including swimming pools, sports hall, fitness suites and ice rink), 250 new homes, 60,000 square feet of retail "offering" (eh?), parking for up to 540 vehicles, and, the crowning glory, a new bus turnaround facility. The sign is rather coy about the financial involvement of Tesco, which will be availing itself of a considerable chunk of that retail "offering". The main construction company is Vinci. Lambeth Council expect construction "to be completed towards the end of 2013". What has been demolished so that all this may arise is everything on the west side of the High Road between Natal Road and Streatham Station except (oddly) the couple of shops in the foreground, the United Reformed Church and the small block immediately south of the station. So, the left-hand bit of this Image], this Image], this Image] and this Image] have all gone. A temporary ice rink is available in Brixton. View from the north: Image
