These include:
* [[South London Theatre]] Centre. This building was constructed in 1881 as West Norwood's first fire station and has a prominent watch tower. It was subsequently used as a church hall by St Luke's church before its present use commenced. In August 2014 the theatre was awarded a grant of £1.6m by the [[Heritage Lottery Fund]] to enable restoration work, which was completed in April 2018.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us |url=https://www.southlondontheatre.co.uk/about-us/ |website=South London Theatre |access-date=2024-06-16}}</ref>
* [https://active.lambeth.gov.uk/locations/west-norwood/ West Norwood Health and Leisure Centre], a £14.2M million health and leisure centre opened in 2014. 
* [[St Luke's Church, West Norwood|St Luke's Church]]. One of four Lambeth [[Waterloo church#South London|Waterloo churches]], the others are St Matthew, St Mark, and [[Waterloo Road, London|St John]]. Architect [[Francis Octavius Bedford]] designed this church and St John's in a similar [[neoclassical style]]. St Luke's was built between 1822 and 1825, and was reordered by [[George Edmund Street|G E Street]] in 1870–1872. Unusually for a church it is oriented north–south instead of east–west. This is due to a requirement when Lambeth Manor was enclosed that no building in the area that included the site should be erected within 100 feet of an existing building without the permission of the owner of the other building. An objection from the owner of the Horn's Tavern meant St Luke's had to be built in a north–south orientation to avoid falling within 100 feet of the tavern.<ref>London County Council, ''The Survey of London: Volume 26, Lambeth: Southern Area'' (London: London County Council, 1956) pp.173–80</ref> The lower part of the churchyard at St Luke's has been laid out as gardens and are used as one of the venues of the West Norwood Feast.<ref>{{cite web|title=West Norwood Feast|url=http://westnorwoodfeast.com/|access-date=2015-04-09}}</ref>
* West Norwood Library & [[Frederick Nettlefold|Nettlefold]] Hall, Norwood High Street. [[Princess Margaret]] opened the building in April 1969. The complex is now the West Norwood Picturehouse and library.
* [[West Norwood Cemetery]], one of London's [[Magnificent Seven, London|Magnificent Seven]] [[Victorian era|Victorian]] burial places, with 66 [[listed building|listed]] structures, many in the [[Gothic Revival|Gothic]] style. Opened 1837.
* The Old Library. In 2004 this has been a cafe and venue for local meetings, activities, exhibitions and events. The building opened on 21 July 1888 as the first [[public library]] in Lambeth and was designed by [[Sidney R. J. Smith|Sidney Smith]], architect of [[Tate Britain]] and several other Lambeth libraries, using red brick, terracotta and Ham Hill stone, with a balcony above the entrance loggia. It was commissioned by [[Henry Tate|Sir Henry Tate]] on land donated by [[Frederick Nettlefold]]: both of these local philanthropists are buried in [[West Norwood Cemetery]].
* [[Mrs Woodford Fawcett Fountain]] – on a traffic island in front of St Luke's Church, where Norwood Road splits into Norwood High Street and Knights Hill. Mrs Fawcett was a local [[temperance movement in the United Kingdom|temperance]] campaigner and is buried in [[West Norwood Cemetery]] whose entrance faces the fountain.
