Roehampton, SW15

Roehampton is a place in south London, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It lies between Putney to the east, Barnes to the north, Richmond Park to the west and Kingston to the south. It is 6.3 miles (10.1 km) south west of Charing Cross.

Entrance to Richmond Park, the largest of the Royal Parks, is via Roehampton Gate, next to the golf course, riding stables and cycle hire.

Roehampton is also home to the Alton Estate, one of the largest council estates (public housing) in the UK, which runs along the edge of Richmond Park. The estate is renowned for its mix of low and high rise modernist architecture, with West Alton ((1959) inspired by the work of French architect Le Corbusier. The estate was used as a location for the futuristic film Fahrenheit 451 (1966). The estate is now part of a regeneration scheme with a number of Government initiatives such as SureStart helping to tackle issues of social exclusion.

In contrast, much of the old village of Roehampton still remains; this is a very affluent area, dominated by large detached houses. An old watering trough for Victorian carriages at the junction of Medfield Street and Roehampton Lane still remains.
