About

Upper Stratton is a suburb in the north of Swindon, historically part of the parish of Stratton St Margaret. It sits north of the town centre and is mainly residential, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes built during the 20th century. Local shops and services cluster along Cricklade Road, which links the neighbourhood with other parts of Swindon. There is a community centre and primary schools serving families in the area.

Street patterns include long runs of council-era terraces and interwar housing, with small pockets of post-war infill. Green spaces and allotments are woven between streets and used by local groups for gardening and football. Bus services connect Upper Stratton to the town centre and retail areas, and the parish church of Stratton St Margaret remains a point of local history. Local volunteer groups run activities at the community centre and look after planters along the main road. Housing tenure mixes privately owned and council-let properties, and recent infill has added small terraces and bungalows.
