Stockwell East
Lambeth, London
PocketsStockwell East (Christ Church · Caldwell Street · Slade Gardens)Stockwell South (north · west · north-east)
Stockwell East sits in the north of Lambeth east of Stockwell Tube station, a dense Victorian and Georgian ward running between Stockwell and Oval. Roughly 40 per cent of the ward falls inside conservation area. The 88 listed buildings — one of the higher counts in Lambeth — include the Grade II* Christ Church on Brixton Road and the Grade II Groveway terraces, and twenty outstanding-rated schools sit within reach. Very good public-transport access links the Victoria and Northern lines at Stockwell plus Brixton and Oval at the edges. Air quality scores well for inner south London. The negatives: green space inside the ward is almost absent with Slade Gardens the only named park at one and a half hectares, safety scores below the borough median, market conditions are tight, and there is little planning headroom.
