Upper Norwood, Residential district in southeast London, England.
Upper Norwood spans across four London boroughs and stands on a clay ridge offering views toward central London and the North Downs.
The area formed part of the Great North Wood until the 19th century, when residential development transformed it into an urban settlement.
The independent Upper Norwood Library, established in 1899, maintains an extensive collection of local historical documents and community records.
The district connects to central London through multiple bus routes that compensate for limited rail access due to its elevated terrain.
In 1966, a dog named Pickles discovered the stolen Jules Rimet World Cup trophy hidden under bushes in Beulah Hill.
