Roehampton sits on the south-west edge of Wandsworth against Richmond Park and Putney Heath, a ward of Georgian country houses now absorbed into the Alton Estate — the London County Council's 1950s modernist scheme of slab and point blocks. Fifty-eight listed buildings include three Grade I entries — Mount Clare, Parkstead House, and Roehampton House, now part of Queen Mary's Hospital — an extraordinary heritage stock for an outer-west ward. Putney Heath at 226 hectares dominates the landscape, with total green reaching 241 hectares. Fourteen outstanding-rated schools fall within the catchment. The downsides are on the connectivity axis: public-transport access is moderate, with no Tube or rail in the ward and bus routes down Roehampton Lane the main link; safety scores sit below the London median on the estate side; the high street amenities are limited at 51 food and 101 non-food venues; and conservation area cover reaches 23%.

Roehampton, quick answers
- Is Roehampton safe?
- Roehampton scores 39 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Roehampton a good place to live?
- Roehampton scores 42 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are nature access (74) and heritage (61); its weakest is area development (5). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
- How well connected is Roehampton?
- Moderate public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Roehampton 3 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 33 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Roehampton expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Roehampton is mid-priced by London standards: its purchase-affordability score is 14/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Roehampton?
- Roehampton scores 44 for education, based on Ofsted ratings and walking distance to the nearest rated primary and secondary schools. 6 schools within a kilometre hold an Outstanding rating.
