What locals say about Norbury
“A good community spirit. We have resided in Norbury (Pollards Hill) for over 30 years, having raised three children here. We have all benefited from living in a tranquil area with good neighbours, which provides great transport links.”
Local resident
“Streatham Common is amazingly quiet and perfect for family living. There are loads of lovely old Victorian houses. We are also seeing an influx of young professionals, a bit like Balham a few years ago. Check out the Rookery and the woodlands at the top of the common, you wouldn't believe you were in central London. The transport links are great too. Every 15 minutes to Victoria, every 30mins to London bridge (although changing to the northern line at Balham is quicker). Plus the Thameslink runs through central London. A final comment on the restaurants/bars. A few years back we were lacking but recently we a dramatic improvement. I hear rumours of a tube line extension to the area is also being considered”
Ben
“It features a beautiful park with a hill view of the surrounding areas. Suitable for a modern life style with 24h Tesco, nice local pubs, gyms and well connected to central London. Many areas are also under development by the local council.”

Activities near Norbury
The Incident Room
It is the late 1970s, and the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper has the nation on edge. On stage, the claustrophobic Incident Room becomes a pressure cooker of mistakes, exhaustion, and relentless workload, where tempers flare and dark humour cuts through the chaos. First performed in 2019, and hailed by The Guardian as 'beautifully crafted', Olivia Hirst and David Byrnes play offers a tense and compelling glimpse behind the headlines. Content warning: although no scenes of violence are depicted, due to the subject matter this production is not suitable for those under 16. Please note that performances start at 7.30pm (doors open 7pm).Read more
