Local Information for South Norwood

Close

Just under eight miles in your car from Charing Cross is the suburb known as South Norwood. Located in the London borough of Croydon, South Norwood is bordered to the north by Upper Norwood, with the most northern point being Beulah Heights, the park contained within this area stretching over both South and Upper Norwood.

The name Norwood is a shortening of the title Great North Wood, which is sometimes also known as the King’s Wood. The wood was a great oak forest, of which little remains today, although place names reflect its existence – including Upper, South and West Norwood, Woodside and Gipsy Hill (as the area was once populated with gypsies). Local legend has it that Sir Francis Drake’s ship, ‘The Golden Hind’, had its wood cut from this forest.

The earliest mention in records of the wood was in 1272, and the most famous tree in the wood was an oak that was used to outline the borders of four parishes – Lambeth, Croydon, Battersea and Camberwell. It was known as the Vicar’s Oak. The tree is thought to have still been alive in 1875, and the spot where it once stood still marks the boundary of Lambeth, Croydon, Camberwell (and now) Bromley boroughs, the location in Crystal Palace Park, at the intersection of Westow and Annerley Hills. Another famous oak tree was the Question Oak, under which theologian Charles Spurgeon used to challenge his students.

Travel around South Norwood in your car and you’ll come across a piece of land known as Brickfields Meadow – a park and lake – which marks the spot where Handley’s Brickworks and its seven towers dominated the skyline for so many years. Then use your car to get to the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes novels, found in Tennison Road.
