The Rookery, Streatham Common. This popular ornamental public garden was laid out in the grounds of 'The Rookery', a large house that stood on the top 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, seen here. The steps leading to the top level lawn and seating can be seen on the top right corner. Digital image courtesy of G E Mahmoud, 2004.
