A bit about the area: Hatcham ca is a quiet tucked-away residential pocket of south London. From 1614, the land was owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. When the manor house (‘Hatcham Park’) was demolished circa 1840, terraced homes were permitted to be built. Rescued from demolition in the seventies, Hatcham Conservation Area was designated by Lewisham Council in 1990.
