The Friends of Streatham Common is a voluntary organisation, run by local residents.
We work with Lambeth Council and the Streatham Common Co-operative to ensure that Streatham Common and the Rookery are well kept and have facilities for all sections of our community, providing community views of the maintenance and development of the area in a way that balances the needs of diverse groups of users.
We also run a number of popular public events each year which, among many, include Streatham Kite Day, Bird Walks, Open Air Theatre in the Rookery and the Fun Dog Show.
