Stockwell West & Larkhall
Lambeth, London
Stockwell West and Larkhall sits in north-western Lambeth, from the Clapham Road across to Wandsworth Road, with Larkhall Park at its centre. The character is dense late-Georgian and early-Victorian terraces overlaid with a busy arterial spine. Heritage is serious for a ward of this position: fifty-three listed buildings include the Grade II* Stockwell Bus Garage (one of the finest examples of post-war modernist architecture in London, with a reinforced concrete roof that was Europe's largest unsupported span when opened in 1952), the Grade II Christ Church, and Grade II 5 Priory Grove. A fifth of the ward is inside a conservation area. Connectivity is very good — Stockwell on Victoria and Northern lines, Clapham North and Vauxhall close — and twenty-three Ofsted-outstanding schools are within reach. The drawbacks are traffic and green space. Green space is limited at just over seven hectares with Larkhall Park the anchor, and air quality sits below the London average on the arterials.
