Streatham Hill East sits on the long climb of Streatham Hill between Brixton and Streatham in south Lambeth, a Victorian and interwar mix of mansion blocks and terraces. The landmark is Pullman Court — 218 flats across three white modernist blocks, designed by Frederick Gibberd when he was 23 and built in 1936, now a Grade II* listed building resembling an ocean liner laid along the ridge with views north to the City and south to the Downs. There are six listed buildings including the Grade II* Pullman Court, the Grade II Leigham Lodge and the Grade II Chestnut Lodge, with around 21.8 percent of the ward inside a conservation area. Transport is strong: Streatham Hill and Balham stations and frequent buses on the A23 give good public-transport access, and 12 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. The drawbacks: green space is very thin at 4.1 hectares with Hillside Gardens Park the main patch, air-quality is poor from heavy A23 traffic, and the food and shopping offer of around 25 venues is modest. Safety sits around the London median.
