172-178 Streatham Hill
On a prominent position opposite the start of Leigham Court Road. The roofline helps with its semi-hexagonal corner bay topped by a dome with a spire, "ironically not dissimilar to a First World War German soldier's helmet." Ironic because this polite group of shops with flats above was built on the site of Arborfield, a large house destroyed during a Zeppelin raid on 24th September 1916. It is within the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area.
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.
