Streatham Hill Theatre in Lambeth is one of just two south London venues on the 2026 register, along with Borough Hall in Greenwich.

The Theatres at Risk Register was launched by Theatres Trust in 2006 to shine a spotlight on theatres and performance venues threatened by closure, redevelopment or serious deterioration.

The register aims to raise awareness, attract investment and encourage action to help secure the long-term future of culturally significant buildings.

The affected areas, including Thornton Heath (CR7) and Streatham (SW16), have seen an increase in water demand due to the hot weather, leading to some customers facing low water pressure or temporary supply loss.

This issue is more pronounced for those living in higher areas or on upper floors.

Thames Water has been working "around the clock" to maintain the water supply, implementing various measures to stabilise the situation.

Charlie Territt, who worked at Streatham Wells Primary School, was sentenced to seven years in prison on Thursday (April 23) by a judge who described him as having a “perverted fixation” with the victim.

Prosecutor Bhavin Patel said that throughout 2024, Territt engaged in late-night conversations with a vulnerable child on Snapchat.

The 32-year-old sent sexual videos of himself and incited the child to send similar videos in return.

Noticing a change in behaviour, the victim's elder sibling inspected the Snapchat account and discovered Territt’s vile messages.

Police were called to the crash on Leigham Court Road near Etherstone Road in Streatham at around 4.15pm on April 20.

Paramedics treated an 11-year-old boy and took him to hospital where his injuries are not life-threatening or changing.

There have been no arrests but enquiries continue with officers asking anyone with information to get in touch.

Transport for London (TfL) has officially confirmed plans to go ahead with the SL15 bus route, running between Clapham Junction and Eltham, following strong support shown during an online consultation.

Following feedback, TfL confirmed a number of changes to the SL15 Superloop route, including revising stop and standing arrangements at Clapham Junction and dropping plans to use space under the Falcon Road railway bridge.

Kamran Khan, of Streatham High Road in Lambeth, groomed the child by using established connections with her family to secure time alone with her, before abusing her in multiple locations, including her home, her bedroom and a park bench.

He threatened to kill the girl if she told anyone what he had done, reports our sister site London Now.

The offending came to light after a family member witnessed a concerning interaction between Khan and the child.

Despite the threats made against her, the girl bravely spoke out and disclosed the abuse.

Charlie Territt, 31, from South Bermondsey, was formerly employed as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant at Streatham Wells Primary School.

He pleaded guilty to four offences at Inner London Crown Court:

Causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity

Causing a child to watch a sexual act

Sexual communication with a child

Making indecent photographs of children

The allegations related to online conversations with a child in which Territt sent a video of a sexual act, London Now reports.

TfL has officially confirmed it will proceed with introducing the new SL15 Superloop route between Clapham Junction and Eltham, following a public consultation held in late 2025.

The online consultation received 1,897 responses, the majority of which came from members of the public and showed strong support for the proposal, with many respondents welcoming the improved east–west connectivity the route would bring across south London.
