Roehampton is a principally residential ward in the London Borough of Wandsworth, in south‑west London, England. It sits close to large green spaces such as Richmond Park and has a long history of former country estates and grand villas, several of which are now part of the University of Roehampton, including the historic Parkstead House. The area combines leafy streets and parkland with pockets of post‑war and modern housing.
Roehampton is notable for its social and architectural contrasts: landmark modernist council developments such as the Alton Estate sit alongside more affluent private housing and recreational institutions like the Roehampton Club. It has a strong student population, community regeneration projects and relatively limited rail links, giving it a quieter, village‑like feel within easy reach of Putney and Barnes.
