It’s grim. If I head that way into town I have to join it by Norbury station and stay on it all the way to Kennington. It’s all bad but the section through Streatham is horrific. Even worse in a car, btw.

S'funny - if you think that when I was a kid, Streatham High Rd was known as Little West End.
Ballroom, theatre, two cinemas, bowling alley, ice rink, no shortage of pubs and restaurants, live music in several of the pubs. There was also a branch of John Lewis.
More recently, it's the first place in the UK that had a McDonalds close down.

Streathamite here. The High Road sucks, no two ways about it. Just horrid.
