The Rookery, Streatham Common. This popular ornamental public garden was laid out in the grounds of 'The Rookery', a large house that stood on this level, which was acquired and demolished by the LCC in 1913. Located on the site of one of Streatham's original mineral wells the lower level includes a wishing well as part of the well maintained flower garden. This view of the top lawn looks towards one of the replacement cedars with the Woodland Walk behind it.Digital image courtesy of G E Mahmoud, 2004.
