The Rookery Gardens

Been coming here for years. Beautiful oasis! Today, there was a market which was wonderful. Managed to get some treats from the stalls which sold everything from food, to art! Will be back again soon!

Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat for quiet contemplation or a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely stroll, The Rookery Gardens offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It may be small in size, but its beauty is boundless, leaving a lasting impression on all who have the pleasure of visiting.

Beautiful and peaceful place. The gardens are amazing. Love going there for a little walk with my friends

This is my happy place, especially early in the mornings when it is very peaceful and all that can be heard is bird song.
You can sit quietly on a bench and meditate.
The volunteers have done a fantastic job on the gardens and surrounding areas.
It is really worth a visit.

It's such a lovely garden for family and friends to meet and have a nice day together or even just for a walk little people(kids). Lots of beautiful colour flowers and plants for the kids to explore.
No forgetting that kids will enjoy seeing birds, butterflies, and squirrels moving around😇🥰🙂.
Has a caffe shop on the entrance, and if I'm not wrong, has toilets there too.
Buggy friendly zone for you to use😉

Absolutely wonderful time and experience there. Been going for a long time and it is always a pleasure especially during the summer. Wonderful hidden away gen in Streatham Common. Well worth the visit. All in all: fantastic!

We caught the season and day in transition, mid November late Autumn with the Acers and Cherries showing their last gold and red reveal of the year.

This Sunday afternoon turning from a vivid Golden Hour with its intense and rich colours to a creeping early evening mist, sucking the strength from the sun, a watering down the colour.

I live in NYC but theres something about coming back here and walking through this simple garden and enjoying the freshness, sounds and views.

Nice to wander around. Very well curated gardens with water feature cascade on one side. Visited in July when it was in full bloom. There are plenty of benches to sit and rest on or just enjoy the view from.

A small but wonderful garden on our doorstep. The grandkids love running up and down the grass slope, and the walled flower gardens are a delight to visit.

Great place to visit. My dad used to be a gardener here so I've been coming here since I was born. There is a cafe near the entrance for refreshments. Of course this time of year not in full bloom but good for a walk.

Such a beautiful place, highly recommend. Peaceful, relaxing and lovely to wander around.

It was so relaxing and refreshing walking around the garden. Beautiful place to go to. We enjoyed walking in the woods. Beautiful flowers too.

Beautiful, amazing place. I love the fact that although it is a busy well visited park, it still gives personal space. I look forward to visiting in the Spring although I probably will go back before then.

Lots of different areas to explore and discover keeping you lingering for a few hours.

Variety of plants and colorful flowers, arches of climbing vegetations, benches hidden in the bushes and fresh stream of water. The Rookery is a little gem full of history and beauty, with a panoramic terrace where to stop and enjoy this peaceful senario.

As your eyes follow the pond round, you'll see there's another pond on the terrace above. Follow it up the hill further and a whole waterfall comes into sight, complete with stepping stones to help you cross the 1ft flow of water. Without leaving London, the most imaginative of urban explorers can feel like they're trekking the rainforests of South America, or the mountain slopes of the Himalayas. Before you know it, you've followed the waterfall back up to the pristine lawn where you started, giving you the choice of taking it all in from one of the plentiful benches, or doing it all again.

Nice place to stay

It's almost like you're not in London. Head up the hill of Streatham Common and head off to the right to find The Rookery. The main garden has ornamental planting and a water feature around some specimen trees. Keep walking through and you'll find fields of long grass and hardly anyone else. Great place for a picnic

Beautifully landscaped garden with a pond, plants and flowers. There are areas of woodland ideal for long walks in the nature. All very well kept.

Never knew this gem existed until I met a friend there. This is located opposite Streatham Common, up the hill by the cafe. Unfortunately I wasn't able to explore properly, but from what I saw, this is such a great place to relax, have a picnic, take pics (as there is a beautiful garden) and deffo explore. A must for families.
