The Wrythe is a residential neighbourhood situated in the London Borough of Sutton. Its housing primarily consists of terraced and semi-detached homes from the interwar and post-war periods, alongside some modern developments. The area is served by several local shops and amenities along Wrythe Lane and Green Wrythe Lane, providing for daily needs.
