St Leonard's Church, London, SW16 1HS
Monday 7th September 2026
Explore the “dead-centre” of Streatham with resident, local historian and writer John Brown and Lambeth Tour Guide Trudy Kuhn.
Despite the rebuilds, St Leonard’s church is Streatham’s oldest building and its well-preserved medieval crypt and its churchyard provide a rich history of many of its long-departed residents. Possibly not for the squeamish, be prepared to walk amongst Streatham's deceased.
Please note entry to the crypt and bell tower is via a steep spiral staircase. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and will start in the graveyard with Trudy Kuhn leading. The order may be subject to change.
