Location: 79 Gipsy Hill, London, England, United Kingdom.
Gipsy Hill:
Gipsy Hill is a road in the southeastern corner of the London Borough of Lambeth, as well as a name applied generally to the hilly area south of Gipsy Road and east of Salters Hill. Gipsy Hill is also the name of an electoral ward of Lambeth Borough Council that includes parts of West Norwood and West Dulwich.
History of Gipsy Hill:
Gipsy Hill is the name of the main road that runs in a southerly direction from Gipsy Road, near its junction with South Croxted Road, up to Westow Hill in Upper Norwood. It takes its name from the presence of Gipsies in what was a relatively remote rural area until Gipsy Hill railway station was opened in 1856. On 11 August 1668, Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary that his wife had visited "the gypsies at Lambeth"; they may well have been located in this area.
