About

North Cheam is a residential ward situated in the northeast of the London Borough of Sutton, bordering the borough of Merton. The area is characterised by a mix of semi-detached and detached housing from the interwar and post-war periods, with quieter suburban streets. Its main commercial activity is focused along Central Road, which provides local shops and services for the community. The area offers several green spaces, including the expansive Nonsuch Park, which lies just to the south beyond the ward boundary.

A defining local landmark is the historic Grange Wall, a remnant of the medieval manor house that once stood on the site of Nonsuch Park. The ward is primarily residential, with good transport links via bus routes connecting to surrounding areas like Worcester Park, Sutton, and Morden. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the adjacent Cheam village, with its own local community focus centred around the primary schools and the recreational grounds at North Cheam Recreation Ground.
