About

West Barnes ward occupies a southwestern portion of the London Borough of Merton, primarily characterised by residential streets with a mix of housing types. The area is bordered by the main railway line to the north and the expanse of Wimbledon Common to the south, providing a distinct green boundary. Its layout is defined by several key thoroughfares like Burlington Road and West Barnes Lane, which channel local traffic through the neighbourhood.

A notable aspect of the area is the presence of the Beverley Brook, a minor river that flows northwards near the common's edge before being culverted. This green corridor contributes to the ward's quieter, suburban atmosphere compared to more central parts of Merton. Local amenities are clustered around these main roads, serving the community with essential shops and services.
