The Rabbit Hole, The Greyhound, Greyhound Lane, Lambeth, London

The Rabbit Hole is located in Streatham, a vibrant and diverse district in South London, located within the London Borough of Lambeth. Once known as a fashionable retreat for wealthy Londoners in the 18th and 19th centuries, it has evolved into a lively residential area with a rich cultural mix and a strong sense of community. It is a popular residence for both families and city professionals, enjoying a strong community spirit, good amenities, and a comfortable balance between city life and suburban calm.

The main thoroughfare, Streatham High Road, is famously one of the longest high streets in Europe, lined with a wide variety of shops, cafés, restaurants, and independent businesses. As a result of Council and private investment, the area has seen significant regeneration in recent years, with new developments, improved public spaces, and a growing number of trendy bars and eateries giving it a more contemporary feel while retaining its traditional character.

Streatham offers plenty of green space, including Streatham Common, Tooting Bec Common, and the beautifully landscaped Rookery Gardens, which provide residents with areas to relax, walk, and enjoy community events. The Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre, one of the few remaining ice rinks in London,is another local landmark that reflects the area’s lively and family-friendly atmosphere.

Excellent transport links connect Streatham to Central London, with three railway stations (Streatham, Streatham Common, and Streatham Hill) providing regular services to London Victoria, London Bridge, and beyond.

The Rabbit Hole occupies a prominent position on the eastern end of Streatham Common.
