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.
