Gipsy Hill is an area of south London within the London Borough of Lambeth. It borders the London Boroughs of Southwark and Croydon.
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.
