Gipsy Hill
Lambeth, London
Gipsy Hill sits on a hilly strip in south-east Lambeth, with views across Dulwich and the City. The area developed in the Victorian era after the arrival of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway in 1856, and its dominant feature is West Norwood Cemetery — opened in 1837 as one of London's Magnificent Seven, designed by William Tite in a Gothic revival style. The ward has 74 listed buildings, many of them monuments in the cemetery including the Grade II* Tomb of John Britton, the Grade II* Tomb of Alexander Berens and the Grade II* Mausoleum of Sir Henry Tate. Norwood Park at 13.3 hectares gives the ward its main green lung, with total cover 15.5 hectares, and 16.6 percent of the ward sits inside a conservation area. Gipsy Hill station gives direct trains to Victoria and London Bridge, and 8 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. Around 61 food venues and 77 non-food venues reflect a high street that has picked up in recent years. The drawbacks: public-transport access is moderate rather than strong, safety sits around the London median, and air-quality scores are weaker than the green cover suggests.
