Streatham Common

Streatham Common is a public common in south London that appears on cruising listings. It is an ordinary park used by dog walkers, families and runners, and there is nothing organised here. Reports are thin and activity is not guaranteed. Cruising itself is not a crime in England, but sex where the public can see it can lead to arrest for outraging public decency or exposure, and in a public toilet it is a specific offence. Robberies and homophobic attacks on men in London parks do happen. Keep your phone charged, carry little, tell a friend where you are, and report incidents to the police or to Galop, the LGBTQ+ anti-violence charity.
