Welcome to Sydenham

Less than 200 years ago Sydenham was a sleepy hamlet in the Kent countryside. The building of the railway and Crystal Palace transformed Sydenham into a fashionable Victorian town for Londoners to visit. Inevitably both grew and merged to now make Sydenham an integral multi-ethnic part of South East London.

The FA Cup was played here, Colour TV was invented here, the first pneumatic railway ran through Sydenham and many famous & notorious people have made it their home. Read on, we hope you discover something interesting.
