Roundshaw

Roundshaw sits in the London Borough of Sutton, close to Wallington. The area is a post‑war housing estate developed on land that had formed part of Croydon Aerodrome; the former runway alignments influenced the estate’s street plan and several road names recall the aerodrome past. Housing mixes terraced and low‑rise blocks, and local facilities include a primary school, a community centre and small parades of shops that serve day‑to‑day needs. Bus routes link Roundshaw with central Sutton and Croydon, while Wallington railway station is within easy walking distance for rail connections.

Green space is centred on Roundshaw Park, which provides sports pitches, playgrounds and walking routes across managed grassland. The park and nearby allotments are used regularly by residents for organised sports and informal recreation. Community groups run events and local projects focus on maintaining open space and improving play provision. The pattern of streets and the park layout still reflect the site’s aviation history, giving the neighbourhood a clear sense of place within Sutton.
