About

Lower Stratton is a residential area in the borough of Swindon within the historic civil parish of Stratton St Margaret. The neighbourhood is made up of terraces and semi-detached housing, with a small commercial parade providing everyday shops, a post office and a pub. A primary school and a community hall serve local families. The parish church of St Margaret stands near the area and has medieval origins, its churchyard and lychgate forming a local landmark tied into village-scale street patterns.

Local travel is focused on bus connections into Swindon town centre and the mainline railway station, so many residents commute by public transport. Pockets of green space, allotments and short walking routes to nearby cycle paths give practical outdoor options rather than formal parks. Community groups use the hall and church for events, and occasional street-level markets and fetes take place. Housing stock and services reflect gradual changes through the 20th century rather than large modern developments.
