South Street is a hamlet located in the far south of the London Borough of Bromley,^[1] 16.5 miles (27 km) south south-east from Charing Cross. It is the highest settlement in all of London, located about 220 metres (722 ft) above sea level. The hamlet is located about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Junction 5 of the M25.

Since the early 1920s, the area has more generally been known as Westerham Hill, the name South Street having fallen out of favour for being overly generic.^[2]

Like neighbouring villages, South Street’s principal crop was strawberries, grown on a dozen farms and sold at Covent Garden. South Street also staged an annual horse show and had a stud farm.^[2]
