Coombe is one of several names for an idyllic corner of south west London.
Living in Coombe
Coombe is a leafy, charming suburb in the boroughs of Merton and Kingston-upon-Thames. To the east of the A3 Kingston by-pass, Coombe SW20 is both attractive and affordable, with many local amenities including excellent road and rail links.
Most of the houses in Coombe are detached and were built in the 20th century, although in the roads approaching Raynes Park the houses are more traditional and include substantial Victorian villas and artisan Edwardian terraces.
West of the A3 is Coombe Hill and here most of the houses are post WWII, with many developments constructed within the last 20 years.
Coombe Hill Estate is private and impressive. The houses are of film star proportions and, although there may not be as many private swimming pools and tennis courts as in Hollywood, there are two wonderful 18-hole golf courses.
Not to be out done, Coombe is close to the vast expanse of Wimbledon Common, which also offers two 18-hole golf courses.
Raynes Park station is the closest rail transport to Coombe and is elevated above local shops, a supermarket, pubs and restaurants.
Wimbledon with its Centre Court shopping mall is on Coombe's door step and to the west are the shops and amenities of New Malden and Kingston-upon-Thames.
Coombe is often referred to as West Wimbledon, Copse Hill or Cottenham Park but despite being within the bounds of Raynes Park, that name is usually avoided - although Raynes Park is clearly coming up.
Transport
Raynes Park railway station is served by South West Trains and there is a frequent service to Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and London Waterloo. In the opposite direction, there are trains to New Malden, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surbiton, Woking, Guildford and the south west.
Several bus routes serve Coombe, including night buses. Neighbouring Wimbledon railway station is the terminus for both the District line underground and the tram link to New Addington via Croydon.
For full details of local bus, tube, train and tram services, including maps and timetables, please visit www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/maps/buses/
History and culture
The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club was founded in 1868 just off Worple Road between Raynes Park and Wimbledon town centre.
In 1922 the club moved to its present site in Church Road, close to Southfields, and its museum is well worth a visit. For information about the museum please visit http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/about/museum/index.html
Wimbledon Village offers smart shopping and smart eating and down Wimbledon Hill on Wimbledon Broadway there are more restaurants, a multi-screen Odeon Cinema and a beautifully refurbished Victorian Theatre.
