Memorial Gardens, Streatham

Introduction

The garden now commemorates the dead of both world wars and is laid out on two levels with the memorial on the lowest level nearest the road, a bronze statue of a soldier sculpted by A.T. Loft in 1921. At the higher level are mature trees, rose beds, lawns and seats. Some land was lost due to A23 road widening and part of housing estate land was provided in compensation.
