The Character Areas 5 5 The Character Areas 5.0 As described in the Introduction, the illustrations in the character areas are not intended to be prescriptive designs. They indicate how the principles described in the SPD could be applied. The Character Areas have been divided into sub areas to describe a greater level of detail. The intention for each area has been described. Site specific development management requirements are set out in the core strategy.

It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • 1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill 1.1
    1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill 1.1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill Area Vision 1.1.1. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill are: • On the boundary of Lambeth, Croydon and Bromley; • An edge of town centre location situated to the north of Upper Norwood District Town Centre; • Characterised by a range of housing types including Victorian terrace and semi-detached family housing, typical of a 19th-century railway suburb, alongside more modern housing types; • An area with plentiful public open spaces and in close proximity to Crystal Palace Park, Dulwich Upper Wood and Norwood Park offering panoramic views towards Central London. • Accessible by rail from mainline stations to Gipsy Hill station and bus routes, however there is no tube connection and the area is less well served by public transport than many other parts of Southwark. 1.1.2. Development in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill should: • Preserve and enhance the character of Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill; • Complement, and not detract from, the economic function of Upper Norwood town centre; • Provide as many homes as possible across a range of tenures including social housing; • Prioritise walking and cycling and improve public transport to reduce pressure on car parking and improve accessibility; • Support improvements to local connectivity and accessibility including enhanced public transport, walking and cycling routes; • Support improvements to local services to meet local needs, including for school places and GP provision. 1.1.3. Growth opportunities in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill: Whilst development opportunities in Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill are relatively limited, the area has the potential to contribute towards meeting Southwark’s housing need.

  • Norbury History Chronology
    WHAT HAPPENED IN NORBURY? An Introductory Chronology Pollards Hill Recreation Ground Fountain & former Age Concern UK office Norbury Library Norbury Park Norbury Brook Sean Creighton History & Social Action Publications 2017 1 Introduction Norbury is a district in North Croydon with borders with the Streatham district of the London Boroughs of Lambeth and with parts of Merton. The name ‘Norbury’ is an abbreviation of ‘Northborough’. ‘Borough’ originally meant a certain manor or district. What became Croydon contained several boroughs. Reference to these was dropped when Croydon was incorporated as a County Borough in 1888. This chronology has been compiled to help stimulate interest in Norbury’s history. The first modern history of the area A History of Norbury by David Clark was published by the Streatham Society in 2013. It has been through several reprints but is now out of print. It can be read at Norbury Library. David occasionally gives talks about Norbury’s history and leads walks in the area. I am a historian whose interests include Croydon and Norbury, where I live. History & Social Action Publications is my publishing imprint. I am an individual member of the Croydon Local Studies Forum, and co-ordinator of the Croydon Radical History Network. I hope that this introduction will inspire readers to research aspects of interest to them. One of the easiest ways is to look at the local newspapers from the 1860s at Croydon Museum’s Local Studies Research Room at the Clocktower at Croydon Town Hall complex in Katharine St. Sean Creighton February 2017 [email protected] Prehistoric Period 1459.

  • Waterloo Guided Walks
    WATERLOO GUIDED WALKS Waterloo is a historic and a fascinating neighbourhood, full of surprises, which can be discovered on these self-guided walks. Choose one or two routes through this historic part of South London, or add all four together to make one big circuit. Each section takes about 30 minutes without stops. WWW.WEAREWATERLOO.CO.UK @wearewaterloouk We are working with the Cross River Partnership through their Mayor’s Air Quality Funded programme Clean Air Better Business (CABB) to deliver air quality improvements and encourage active travel for workers, residents and visitors to the area. VICTORIAN WATERLOO Walk through the main iron gate (you are welcome to visit or attend a service) and skirt the church to the right, leaving by the gate hidden in the hedge right behind the building. Follow Secker Street left and right, In medieval times this area was desolate Lambeth Marsh, which only really came to life with the crossing Cornwall Road to Theed Street completion of Westminster Bridge in 1750. Then around a century later the first railways arrived, running above ground level on mighty brick viaducts. Start in Waterloo Station, under the four-faced clock suspended from the roof at the centre of the concourse, a popular meeting 4 spot for travellers for almost 80 years. Theed Street, Windmill Walk and Roupell Street This is one of London’s most atmospheric quarters, much fi lmed, with its nineteenth-century terraces, elegant streetlamps and steeply pitched roofs. The gallery on the corner of Theed Street was once a cello factory and the musical motif continues as you walk: the gate signed ‘The Warehouse’ is home to the London Festival Orchestra, which became independent in the 1980s and performs at major venues and festivals.
