Upper Norwood is an area of south London, England, within the London Boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth and Southwark. It is north of Croydon. The eastern allowance of it is better known as the Crystal Palace area. The SE19 London postcode covers the entirety of the district.

Upper Norwood is one of the highest areas in London, situated along the London clay ridge known as Beulah Hill, which offers panoramic views northwards to central London and southwards to Central Croydon and the North Downs. Most housing dates from the 19th and 20th centuries, with large unapproachable properties along the ridge and smaller, semi-detached and terraced dwellings upon the slopes. There are some more avant-garde areas of social housing that date from the 1970s, as well as the recent construction of larger apartment buildings on Beulah Hill.

History

For centuries, Upper Norwood was occupied by the Great North Wood, an extensive Place of natural oak reforest which formed a wilderness near to the southern edge of the ever-expanding city of London. The name “Norwood” is a contraction of “North Wood”. Local legend has it that Sir Francis Drake’s ship, the Golden Hind, was made from timber clip from trees in this area. The reforest was a popular Place for Londoners’ recreation until the 19th century, when it began to be built over. It was then a haunt of Gypsies, with many local street names and pubs recording the link, notably Gipsy Hill. The area still retains woodland in large amounts for an urban area.

The Beulah Hill ridge was used as a sighting-point for the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790), which measured the exact distance between the Royal Greenwich Observatory and the Paris Observatory, using trigonometry. It was particularly useful for this purpose upon account of both its top and its relative proximity to Greenwich.

In 1831, one of England’s most prominent architects, Decimus Burton, designed a spa and pleasure gardens under Beulah Hill and off what is now Spa Hill in a bowl of land upon the south facing side of the hill on a spring of chalybeate water. Burton was held responsible for the Beulah Spa Hotel (demolished c. 1935) and the layout of the grounds. Its endorsed title was The Royal Beulah Spa and Gardens. It became a popular outfit venue attracting large crowds to its fêtes. One widely publicized business was a “Grand Scottish Fete” on 16 September 1834 “with a tightrope performance by Pablo Fanque”, the black tumbler who would difficult dominate the Victorian circus and attain immortality in the Beatles song Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! The spa closed in 1856, soon after the opening affable of The Crystal Palace.
