===Knights Hill===
Confusingly, there are two areas called Knight's Hill nearby; the names of both areas have similar origins, both belonging to Thomas Knyght in 1545, and in the south was known as Knight's Hill Common while the hill to the north was known as Knight's Hill Farm.
* The better-known area is the residential area and [[Dulwich and West Norwood (UK Parliament constituency)|electoral ward]] to the south west by the road called Knights Hill.
The southern Knight's Hill Common originally formed part of Lambeth Manor and contained land called Julian's, which is remembered through the street name of St Julian's Farm Road.
The hill formed the nucleus of the vast estate in Lambeth and Streatham that [[Lord Thurlow]] acquired during the 18th Century,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=49779&strquery=Vicar's+Oak|title=Norwood: Introduction – British History Online|website=www.british-history.ac.uk}}</ref>
* The second Knight's Hill is above the Tulse Hill railway tunnel, near [[West Dulwich railway station]] – which was originally called Lower Knights Hill station. It includes the hilly land between the western end of Thurlow Park Road (South Circular), Peabody Hill and Lovelace Road, and is now partly used by Rosendale Allotments in [[SE21]]. The green area is still marked as Knight's Hill on large scale maps but is normally not marked as such on modern street maps in order to avoid confusion. Originally, the northern Knight's Hill farm was part of the Manor of Levehurst, and later of the Manor of Leigham Court and the parish of Streatham.<ref>Ben Weinreb & Christopher Hibbert, ''The London Encyclopedia'', {{ISBN|0-333-57688-8}} ''West Norwood''</ref>
