Streatham Hill, LONDON, SW2 4TL

This is the name of the block of flats on the corner.

No. 39 is a small two-storey rendered house. The building on the right is a 1960s office block currently used as a healthcare centre. They are within the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area for their group value. The course of Streatham High Road has been a major highway between London and Sussex since Roman times. Its current appearance is largely attributable to two major spells of development. The first was during the late C19th following the opening of Streatham Hill station in 1856, and the second was after 1911 when the line to Victoria was electrified. Though much-maligned and undoubtedly blighted by heavy traffic, closer examination reveals that the road is lined with a number of interesting buildings, some of which reflect the period between the wars when Streatham was a fashionable centre of entertainment.

The brick corner block was built c1955 after the previous occupier of the spot was destroyed by a flying bomb on 24th June 1944. It was extended in the same style to the right, c1962. The building on the far right is a recent addition on the former site of Warwick Wright garage which preserves the scale, but is otherwise without merit.
