West Ham Lane Recreation Ground opened in stages between 1899 and 1912 as the Borough Council acquired parcels of land for its new park. The 1st section next to Whalebone Lane was once part of the grounds of a grand house that had belonged to the Archdeacon of Essex and the estate included land and houses on the west side of West Ham Lane. The freehold was sold to West Ham Council in 1899. The recreation ground was probably the last in the series of parks created in West Ham in the 1890s as part of an initiative to provide public open space as the area was developed for housing. The park was renamed Stratford Park in the late 1990s. A number of the early features remain, including its layout of paths, mature trees, park buildings such as toilets, park shelter, and ornamental fountain, although the bandstand no longer exists, a new performance structure erected on the site in recent years. Bedding displays continue to be a feature of the park.

In 1747 Horace Walpole leased then purchased a late C17th house in Twickenham and between 1749 and 1776 he created Strawberry Hill, extending the house into what has been called a cross between a medieval castle and an abbey. He purchased further land over the years, including meadows to the east and south, and his grounds eventually ran down to the river. Although land has been lost to housing and the view lost to woodland the grassed areas and the layout of his tree planting survive.

Strawberry House overlooks Chiswick Mall, which became a riverside village for the wealthy. The house was built in the early C18th and the original garden plan may date from that time, although the present layout of pools and paths is largely of the early C20th, with later planting of the 1960s.

Streatham Cemetery was set up by Streatham Burial Board in 1892. The cemetery has a formal layout with two chapels facing each other on either side of a circular processional route directly opposite the main entrance. The stone lodges and chapels were designed by William Newton-Dunn in the gothic style. Some of the older headstones have now been laid flat. Interesting monuments include the pile of granite blocks on the Krall grave (1903) and Henry Budden's small blue terracotta temple (1907). The cemetery is well planted and there are a number of historically interesting tombs, including that of Sir Wyke Bayliss (d.1905), President of the Royal Society of British Artists.

Streatham Common is ancient commonland that was once part of the Manor of South Streatham, which stretched from Norwood to Tulse Hill. At one time known as Lime Common, it was owned by the church from 1362, at the Dissolution of the Monasteries passing to the Dean and Chapter, and in 1862 to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. It was managed from 1866 by a Committee of Management of local inhabitants. In 1883 it was taken over by the MBW and an Act of Parliament ensured its protection in perpetuity, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners selling c.26.5 hectares to the MBW for £5. Trees were planted around the perimeter and part of the common was mowed, part allowed to become woodland. Most of the lower part was used as allotments during WWII with temporary housing erected around the perimeter. A picturesque landscape sloping from north to south, the upper edges are covered with trees, bracken, copses and gorse.

Streatham Green was once wasteland belonging to Tooting Bec Manor, and possibly once part of Tooting Bec Common. It was transferred to the MBW under the Metropolitan Commons Act, 1866, later passing to the LCC, and now the responsibility of Lambeth Council. Most of the former green has been built over and parts were taken for road widening in 1892 and 1904. The fine Victorian drinking fountain was erected at the centre The Green in 1933. The Green used to be on a steeply sloping site as a result of mounding to cover WWII air raid shelters, but it was re-landscaped c.2003/4 with a simpler layout of grass and paths.

The site was part of the Duke of Bedford's estate, and was occupied by 'The Chimes', which housed Belgian refugees during WWI, but which was later destroyed by bombing in WWII. Part of the Chimes estate was acquired by the local War Memorial Committee and Streatham Memorial Gardens were laid out in 1922. The garden now commemorates the dead of both world wars and is on two levels with the war 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. A memorial to all civilians from or living in Streatham affected by all forms of war and conflict was erected in the garden in 2006.

Streatham Park Cemetery opened in 1909, but was originally conceived in 1890 as the Great Southern Cemetery, matching the Great Northern Cemetery that opened in 1861 in Southgate. Cemetery buildings included a lodge, an Anglican Chapel and a small Roman Catholic chapel designed by John Bannen, who also designed the Crematorium, which opened in 1936. The cemetery lodge and RC chapel have since been demolished, the Anglican chapel later re-opened as the cemetery office. The cemetery is laid out on a grid and near the entrance are austere family vaults; there are various gardens of remembrance, including rose gardens. One of the founders of the cemetery, Frederick Field (d.1923) is buried here. The cemetery has a long association with the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund, with 200 variety artistes buried here between 1921-44.

Streatham Vale Park is a small rectangular park that was laid out on the site of former brickworks in 1925 and next to the Wandsworth Council rubbish disposal yard called 'Lonesome Depot'. Due to boundary changes it is now within LB Lambeth. The park is grassed with shrubs and rose beds, playground and a games area, but no longer has a bowling green. At the entrance from Abercairn Road is a rose garden and the boundary has beds with shrubs and roses, and some good trees including wingnut, willow, oak species. A perimeter path runs around the park. A new community garden was createdin 2009

Stubbers Adventure Centre is on a site whose history is documented from 1334, and is named after C15th owner William Stubbers. It is famous as the home of botanist William Coys from 1580-1627, where he cultivated many species in his walled gardens and established one of the earliest plant collections recorded in England. In 1689 the estate was acquired by Sir William Russell, whose family held it until 1947. He enlarged the C16th house and developed the estate; the grounds later re-landscaped by Humphry Repton. In 1947 Essex Education Committee bought the estate initially for a youth campsite; it later transferred to the GLC then LB Havering. A C16th lime walk was felled in c.1954, the house demolished in 1960, and the Fish Pond enlarged in 1970 as a canoeing lake. Excavation in the 1970s revealed foundation walls of Repton's garden and pavilion. One of the walled gardens survives, with remnants of C18th walls, entrance gates and brick piers, together with adjoining crinkle crankle south wall.

Styleman Almshouses were built in 1755 under the will of John Styleman of Danson (d.1734), to provide for 12 poor families. There was a pump and well, and an oak fence was erected around the property and ground levelled behind the houses. In 1833 gravel was spread and in 1845 a quick hedge was planted. Originally the back gardens were divided into strips but at some point after 1908 they were all amalgamated into one. A summerhouse was built in 2005 in celebration of the Almshouses 250th anniversary.

This small park is within Sudbury Court Estate, a mock-Tudor estate built in 1927-35 as the area was being developed. It was part of Sudbury Farm, which was farmed until 1900 by the Perrin family. In the 1920s the land was sold for development, part of the larger estate of Lord Northwick; many of the roads are named after villages near his Gloucestershire seat. The open space on a hill in the middle of the Sudbury Court Estate was later passed to Wembley Council as public open space, and became known locally as The Pimple. There remain some original hedges and mature oak trees.
