About Roehampton
Roehampton is a green and residential area in the south-west of Wandsworth, located near Putney, Barnes, Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common. It has a more spacious and suburban feel than many inner London neighbourhoods, with large estates, university campuses, period houses, modern developments and excellent access to open space. The area is strongly shaped by its proximity to Richmond Park, Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common. These major green spaces provide walking, cycling, wildlife, sports and some of the best outdoor landscapes in London. This makes Roehampton attractive to families, students, nature lovers and residents who prefer a quieter environment. Roehampton is also home to the University of Roehampton, giving the area a student population and academic identity. Housing includes mansion blocks, post-war estates, family houses, flats and newer developments. Local shops, schools, cafés and community facilities serve everyday needs. Transport is mainly by bus, with links to Putney, Barnes, Hammersmith, Wimbledon and Kingston. While it does not have its own Underground station, nearby rail and Tube options are accessible by bus. Roehampton is peaceful, green and residential. It is ideal for those who value open space, education, family life and access to South West London’s parks and commons.
