Story
“Our website, social media and followers, together form a diverse and collaborative local community called My Streatham.”
Based in south London, the area of Streatham has a rich and diverse history. Beautiful architecture built throughout the 19th and early 20th century, theatres and the first ever John Lewis; for a long time Streatham had it all. Sadly, over the 80s, 90’s and 00’s the area declined and it gained itself a tough reputation.
In recent times a new Streatham has been born from the ashes, with trendy developments, investments, shops, cafes, restaurants and bars springing up all over the place. Whether you grew up here, work here or have just moved in – we aim to bring the local community together to celebrate the Streatham of today.
