I simply disagree your notion that Streatham is a some kind of really

It's a Jekyll and Hyde place... The back streets of Streatham are nearly all
very pleasant... the High Road is full of people who look badly nourished.

That's more of an apt description.

I've never found Streatham railway station particularly inviting I
must admit - I think that's basically because much of the length of
the platforms is stuck in the gloom underneath the wide road bridge.

I do still like the fact that Streatham has an original high street
cinema, the Odeon. I went there not so long ago and it was perfectly
pleasant.
