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.

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.
