This month, we went to the Streatham Theatre 

Company’s performance “Access All Eras”, a 

night time tour of the Streatham Hill Theatre 

based on the star-studded history of this 

spectacular 1928 building. Well-informed 

guides led us down abandoned corridors, 

and as we peeked behind closed doors, the 

company told the story of a Theatre Manager’s 

tragic romance with an actress. They used 

an old manager’s office, a dressing-room, 

backstage, and the atmospheric basement bar 

to unfold the tale.” This was a brilliant sitespecific 

piece that made great use of the wealth 

of opportunity presented by this marvellous old 

theatre. More please! www.streathamtheatre. 

org.uk 

Last month we got involved with the Streatham 

Festival 2015 Board, and I have also been 

elected to chair Streatham Action. Want a 

better Streatham or got something to suggest 

for the 2015 Festival 

Let us know! 

We wrote about flytipping 

earlier this year, 

and now Lambeth 

Council’s Scrutiny 

Committee will be 

placing the “Envirocrime” 

officers under 

the microscope in a 

public meeting on the 

11th at the Streatham 

Tate Centre at the library. Come and hear what 

they’ve been doing about environmental abuse. 

The most impressive and moving event of the 

month was the Remembrance Service at the 

War Memorial, attended by around 800 people. 

We will remember them. 

Merry Christmas, Streatham!

We thought aliens had finally landed! We were 

sure that there was an enormous UFO parked 

on the High Road near the War Memorial 

in November, but when we went to look, 

someone had taken down the normal poster 

hoardings on the junction between 

Lewin and Natal Roads and put 

up a giant LED TV-like ad board 

bathing South Streatham in 

light. Bright light. It can be 

seen from Crown Point and 

the western edges of West 

Norwood! The residents of the 

Albert Carr Gardens must think 

its daytime all the time. 

Concerned residents who 

contacted us about this site 

have seen no planning notices or 

announcements about the change to the 

site. This is interesting, as its inside the 

Streatham Common Conservation area, and 

with similar constraints on shops the length 

of the High Road, it seems to have been 

shoved through the planning process without 

proper consultation. Neither Streatham Action 

nor the Friends of Streatham Common, 

the inStreatham BID or SCCoop had been 

consulted (although Friends of Unigate 

Woods had been!). Public 

expressions on social media have 

been universally negative if not 

downright hostile. 

Ironically, these hoardings 

seem to contradict Lambeth 

council's own conservation 

area rules and Lambeth Local 

Plan policies. In light of this we 

want to ask why exactly the council 

appears to have ignored its own 

rules, steamrollered process, and granted 

permission to a giant multinational to spoil our 

amenities at no benefit to the community. We 

call on Lambeth to repeal planning permission 

on this dazzling eyesore!

On a cold Monday evening there's no better 

refuge than the HIDEAWAY Jazz Club with its 

cool but cosy decor, attentive staff and hearty 

menu - we can personally vouch that their 

Rioja and sweet potato fries are a winning 

combination! 

As part of HIDEAWAY's 5th annual EFG 

London Jazz Festival series, our evening's 

entertainment was a break from routine for the 

HIDEAWAY, which usually hosts a salsa class, 

a walk-in jazz workshop and jam session on 

Mondays. Instead there were two vibrant jazz 

groups, both hailing from South London: The 

Expansions and The Hot Border Specials. 

The gig kicked off with 4 piece funk band The 

Expansions who crammed their 40 minute 

set with a range of 70's infused synthy tunes. 

Shea Matthews as guest singer with Eryka 

Badu-esque vocals came on and brought a 

new, mellow vibe to the band's sound. In an 

evening that was almost entirely instrumental, 

it was great to hear some silky smooth vocals 

take centre stage. Next to delight our ears 

was a The Hot Border Specials, who got 

us dancing in our seats with their energetic 

bongo drums. We particularly enjoyed their 

percussion-laced Michael Jackson 'Thriller' 

rendition. With their arresting energy it was 

hard to sit still, and come the end of the set 

(and an extra glass or two of Rioja) we were up 

on our feet dancing with the band's entourage. 

All in all a superb Monday evening's 

entertainment, even if we were a little worse 

for wear come Tuesday morning's alarm!

Could you spare a plate of food 

Call for community food project for the 

elderly in Lambeth 

A group of Streatham mums is getting 

behind a campaign to help combat 

loneliness amongst elderly 

people in the borough. 

Casserole Club helps people 

share extra portions of home 

cooked food with others in 

their area who are not always 

able to cook for themselves. 

The project is already helping 

bring together communities in 

other London boroughs but is not 

yet supported by Lambeth. 

“I’d love to help somebody in this way”, 

said local mum of two Hattie Lambrou. 

And judging by the reaction she had on 

Streatham Mums Network’s Facebook page 

when she posted about this, it would seem that 

a lot of other people would be willing too. 

“Cooking a meal for somebody is such a 

simple gesture but can bring a lot 

of happiness”, she said. “But 

Casserole would need the 

backing of Lambeth Council. 

And to get that it would really 

help if we can prove there 

are enough people willing to 

cook for someone.” 

Anyone keen to get 

involved can read more 

and importantly, sign up. 

For more information, get in 

touch with the casserole club at 

hello@casseroleclub.com or you can 

give them a call on 020 3475 3444 www. 

casseroleclub.com “The more people that 

sign up, the more chance we have of bringing 

Casserole here.” 

We wish all our customers a 

very Merry Christmas and a 

Happy New Year.

On December 13th & 14th, Streatham Ice and 

Leisure Centre will be hosting its first Christmas 

Ice skating show, West End Winter Wonderland. 

The show will include many talented 

nationally ranked skaters who 

train at the rink, as well as guest 

skaters including Free Skater 

Harriet Beatson and team 

GB Junior Ice Dance skating 

couple Charlotte Dyson & 

Rory Ross-Docherty. The 

Streatham ice coaching 

team’s own Roland Horsall, 

former principal performer with 

the International Holiday on Ice 

Company, will host the evening. 

The show will be opened on Saturday 

13th December by Lambeth Council Leader, 

Lib Peck, with Councillor Jane Edbrooke 

welcoming the audience on the 14th. Councillor 

Peck said “Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre is 

fantastic and I am delighted that over 400,000 

people have already used it in its first year… I 

am looking forward to seeing some wonderful 

displays from our very own Streatham-trained 

skaters." It is sure to be a fantastic family night 

out! 

PETER NICHOL 

ALEXANDRA 

SNOWDON 

The West End Winter Wonderland 

show includes local young talent 

who train regularly at the Streatham 

Ice and Leisure Centre. 

Jessica Marjot at 

just 14 is the solo 

ice dance British Senior 

Ladies Champion and gold 

medallist and attends Harris 

Academy in Purley. Seven 

year old Alexandra Snowdon 

is the youngest skater ever 

to compete at the British 

Championships. Alexandra 

attends Ecole de Battersea Prep 

School, and joined the National Ice 

Skating Association’s development 

squad when she was only 6 (their youngest 

ever member). She won a silver medal at the 

Streatham Solo Ice Dance IJS Competition in 

May, and now skates with partner Peter Nicholl 

(12). He and his sister Nathalie were crowned 

Welsh Champions this year, and are also 

members of the National Development Squad. 

Peter has won 6 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze 

medals, and Nathalie 3 gold, 4 silver and 2 

bronze medals this season. Nathalie dances 

with Theodore Alexander, 12, who also had an 

impressive medal haul. Also performing is Rosie 

Hope, 11, a pupil at James Allen’s Girls School 

who is also in the national development squad 

and has won 6 silver medals and a bronze this 

season. 

These are very committed young skaters who 

are on the ice in Streatham by 6am most days 

of the week before school, and then again 

at weekends, as well as doing several hours 

off-ice training a week. Most of the skaters in 

the Christmas show are part of the Streatham 

Supremes, the largest of the figure skating 

clubs at the Streatham rink under Head Coach, 

Diane Towler-Green MBE, Olympian and four 

time British, European and World Champion 

with her partner Bernard Ford. 

The club's coaches have produced numerous 

British champions over the years, and have 

20 


many specialities from choreography to 

technical expertise. Diane Towler-Green’s 

daughters, Candice and Philippa are also 

world-class coaches at the Streatham Ice 

Centre. Candice is an IJS technical specialist, 

and is the producer of the West End Winter 

Wonderland show. She is a former British 

junior ice dance champion and World Junior 

Championship competitor, while Philippa is a 

four-time British silver medallist and European 

and World Championship competitor as well as 

a very talented choreographer. 

Streatham hosted its first national IJS skating 

competition in May, attracting competitors from 

all over the UK. It was such a success that the 

21st and 22nd May 2015 have been pencilled 

in for a second Streatham Open competition. 

There have even be rumours that NISA are 

considering holding the British Championships 

there in the future, as well as a possible 

International skating Grand Prix. 

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre is managed 

by Greenwich Leisure Ltd under the Better 

Leisure brand. They have worked hard to 

improve the services and facilities available 

and support the ice management team in 

hosting competitions and putting on the 

Christmas West End Winter Wonderland. “We 

are very fortunate to have such a talented 

team of coaches who have worked extremely 

hard to produce such excellent results in the 

competitions this year. 

We hope as many people 

as possible come to 

watch the show,” said a 

spokesman. 

The first Christmas 

Show at the centre will be a West End Winter 

Wonderland on ice with fabulous costumes, 

fantastic music, top-ranked international 

performers, world class skating and a great 

MC, all right here in Streatham! Candice Towler- 

Green commented “Such is the demand for 

tickets we are doing two performances on both 

the Saturday and Sunday night.” 

Diane Towler-Green summed up, “It’s simply 

fantastic for me to see so many of our talented 

skaters taking part in the show, as well as so 

many children in our Skate UK programme... 

We’ve been at the new rink for a year and it is 

time we showed Streatham the talent that we 

have!” 

Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th December at 

6pm 

Streatham’s first fabulous ice dance show is not 

to be missed! 

Tickets are available from reception at the Ice 

and Leisure centre £10 adult & £8 concessions. 

There is a special schools and group rate 

available.

NATALIE NICHOL ROSIE HOPE JESS MARJOT 


As far as is known Charles Dickens never 

visited Streatham, but our town has a 

number of links with him. Edwin Durrant, of 

70 Penwortham Road, purchased the lease 

of the Old Curiosity Shop in Portugal Street 

around the turn of the 20th century, and under 

his ownership it traded as a curio shop. Many 

old pictures of the premises clearly show 

the Durrant family name above the door. 

Bleak House in Broadstairs, where Dickens 

used to holiday, was purchased in 1953 by 

Mrs M.E.Scholeboom, of Prentis Road. She 

described the house as ‘magnificent’, standing 

in an acre of ground overlooking the sea and 

comprising some 15 rooms. Sir Arthur Helps, 

another resident of Streatham parish and who is 

buried in St. Leonard’s graveyard, was secretary 

of the Privy Council and introduced Queen 

Victoria to Dickens in 1870. Another Streatham 

resident worthy of mention is Bertram 

Waldron Matz of 29 Woodfield Avenue was 

acknowledged as the world’s greatest authority 

on Charles Dickens. In his youth he worked 

for Dickens’ publishers, Chapman and Hall, 

and later became a partner in the publishing 

business of Charles Palmer of Chandos Street. 

A prolific author on Dickens, he founded the 

Dickens Fellowship in 1902 and was its first 

honorary secretary and later president. For over 

20 years he was the editor of the Dickensian, 

wrote at least 11 books on Dickens related 

subjects. 

Although Dickens appears to have never visited 

Streatham, his son came to the town in March 

1889 to read from his father’s works in the 

Streatham Town Hall. A report in the Norwood 

Review and Crystal Palace Reporter on 9th 

March 1889, recalls the events of the evening 

with the headline: “MR CHARLES DICKENS AT 

STREATHAM"

PAISLEy RAINbELL (RIGHT) 

Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s that time of year again, but is it 

as much fun for our furry friends Here are a 

few things to consider for safe and happy times 

for them. 

There are foods we love that are poisonous to 

dogs and cats – chocolate, onions, garlic, nuts, 

blue cheese, anything with grapes, sultanas, 

or raisins (Christmas pud, mince pies and 

cake), and turkey bones as they can cause 

constipation and damage intestines. 

Tinsel and decorations can cause blockages 

if swallowed, and lilies, holly, mistletoe and 

poinsettia and artificial snow are all toxic. Cats 

like to leap at sparkly things and can pull the 

tree over and get tangled up, while puppies love 

to chew electric cable!. Chewed batteries cause 

chemical burns and heavy metal poisoning. 

Watch out for anti-freeze too – it tastes yummy 

to pets but is highly toxic. Wash those little 

paws when they come in, as salt used on frozen 

roads can irritate and be toxic if licked. 

If your pet does ingest anything that you are not 

sure about. Don’t hesitate, a few hours can be 

the difference between life and death – call the 

emergency vet on 020 8677 0976. 

And Now…fanfare….

Known for years as the last school in Lambeth, 

Woodmansterne Primary School and Children’s 

Centre is just yards from where Croydon, 

Merton and Wandsworth councils converge 

in South Streatham. This is also the name of a 

superb little book given me by Paul Robinson, 

the Headteacher of Woodmansterne, which 

details the memories and reminiscences of 

Woodmansterne alumni stretching back 

to the early 1930s. 

Change at Woodmansterne 

has always been the norm. 

From the large Streatham Vale 

neighbourhoods springing up to 

demographic changes in the area 

to the purpose of the school itself – 

originally a school for children with chronic 

illnesses such as tuberculosis – the school has 

changed amazingly. This may be about to be 

trumped by plans to extend the primary school 

to a 4 form intake and ambitious plans to build 

a secondary school on the existing site. In the 

‘South Lambeth Schools’ Partnership’ area, 

Woodmansterne has the best, if not the only, 

space to do this. Given the distances many 

children have to travel to secondary school this 

would be a great boon for Streatham parents. 

Amazingly Woodmansterne plans to do this on 

the existing hard footprint and preserve all of 

the existing, and wonderfully extensive, playing 

fields. 

Their Children’s Centre offers care from ages 0 

– 5yrs old, breastfeeding counsellors, post-natal 

midwifery support, and English language tuition. 

The Centre’s teacher works closely with local 

childminders and nurseries, helping ensure 

that all children, whether advantaged, 

disadvantaged, those who speak 

English as a first or second language 

or those with special educational 

need and disabilities, have had the 

best start - prepared to enter school. 

The school itself is a diverse mix of 

local children. The largest pupil group 

is “White (Other)” at 19% of the intake with 

the next 5 other groups split almost similarly 

equal. Woodmansterne sees this as a feature. 

When I asked about language lessons I found 

that 59% of the school have English as an 

additional language. 

In spite of the challenges and the pace of 

change, Woodmansterne has just been 

inspected by Ofsted and rated Outstanding. 

We congratulate Paul Robinson, his teachers 

and support staff, governors and the parents of 

Woodmansterne for this result!

y Dr. Nilu 

Christmas can be a difficult time of year to 

look great. That summer glow has faded, the 

winter chills give you sniffles and that extra 

mince pie proves difficult to resist. Fear not, 

there are a few simple tricks that you can 

employ over the festive period to make sure 

you look and feel great. And looking great is 

important! 

Studies have show that your skin and how 

healthy it looks is a good indication of your 

internal health. It's also an important source 

of health as your skin produces Vitamin D 

through exposure to sunlight during summer 

but it’s difficult to consume enough Vitamin D 

through diet alone during winter. 

Between September and March the 

sun doesn’t rise high enough to 

stimulate vitamin D production 

in your skin, so the only way 

to absorb enough Vitamin D 

during the winter months is to 

take supplements. Current UK 

guidelines suggest that adults 

under 65 should take 1,000IU 

of Vitamin D a day. However to 

maintain healthy Vitamin D levels 

some studies suggest higher 

doses than this. 

Diet is tricky over Christmas and New 

Years as well. Food is usually part of the 

festivities and I wouldn't say avoid tasty treats 

altogether - it’s difficult to look good when 

you’re miserable. A good rule to follow is the 

80/20 rule. This means eat well 80% of the 

time - make four out of five meals healthy 

meals. But what's healthy If you watch the 

news or read papers you may be shocked 

when I explain that I believe a diet high in good 

fats, protein and fresh fruit and vegetables 

is not only good for your health but also 

helps you to look great. Interestingly studies 

have show that eating fruit and vegetables 

improves your skin colouration in a way that 

actually makes you look more attractive and 

that eating green and yellow vegetables may 

actually decrease your wrinkles. Importantly, 

protein for breakfast is not only better for you 

than any cereals or toast it also helps stabilise 

your appetite. 

Avoiding high GI foods also reduces acne 

and blemishes and reduce the production of 

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) that 

cross link collagen and elastin. These reduce 

your skin’s volume and it’s ability to prevent 

wrinkles forming. For a sweet treat 85% dark 

chocolate is a good compromise as it contains 

plenty of antioxidants to reduce low-level 

inflammation. Also try xylitol as a sweetener, 

it’s a prebiotic and studies have also shown it 

actually stimulates collagen production. 

Try to avoid bad fats including, margarine, 

trans-fats, vegetable oils, and hydrogenated 

or partially hydrogenated fats. Lard has had 

a bad press over the past twenty years or 

so, but new thinking suggests it isn’t 

actually that bad. For a start it is high 

in Vitamin D, one of the few foods 

that is, and it has a high content 

of monounsaturated fat (48%!). 

Increased fat consumption 

increases the elasticity of your 

skin and reduces wrinkles. 

Sufficient levels of both good 

fats in our diets are essential for 

maintaining healthy and youthful 

looking skin. These also include 

palm oil and avocado oil. 

It goes without saying that sugary foods 

and fizzy drinks should be avoided. But 

it’s Christmas I hear you say! Indeed and 

it’s going to be difficult, so try to stick to 

that 80/20 rule but you will find it makes 

a big difference. See my website www. 

brigstockskinandlaser.com for my Christmas 

Chocolate Balls recipe. They’re made from 

ground almonds, desiccated coconut, figs, 

xylitol and cacao powder and are truly 

delicious. 

So there you go; there’s my guide to looking 

great and having a healthy happy Christmas 

and hopefully these tips will help you look 

fantastic in the New Year.
