Size matters, and many of the houses in Raynes Park are generously proportioned.
Living in Raynes Park
Pounds per square foot, houses in Raynes Park have much to offer. The address is not as illustrious as its famous neighbour, Wimbledon, but the deal in terms of leafy streets, parks, transport and schools is pretty good.
Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton and has really come into its own in recent years. North of the railway line into London Waterloo houses are mainly Edwardian terraces and, south of the line, more substantial 1930s semis.
Property renovations and a few conversions to flats and maisonettes have improved the look of the housing stock considerably, complemented by excellent local amenities.
Raynes Park railway station is elevated above the village, which has a good choice of local shops, a supermarket, pubs and restaurants.
Traffic is an issue in the heart of Raynes Park during peak times and the Worple Road / Coombe Lane one-way system is efficient rather than aesthetic.
The A298 Bushey Road cuts a swathe through Raynes Park on its way to the A3. Due south of the dual carriageway are playing fields, parks, a David Lloyd Club and beautiful Cannon Hill Common.
Wimbledon with its Centre Court shopping mall is on the door step and to the west is Kingston-upon-Thames, which is a shopper's Mecca. Both centres can be easily accessed from Raynes Park by train, bus or car.
North of Raynes Park is an area that is commonly called West Wimbledon but is really Raynes Park, although the house prices are much closer to Wimbledon than Raynes Park.
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 Kingston-upon-Thames, Surbiton, Woking, Guildford and the south west.
Several bus routes serve Raynes Park, 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.

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.
Wimbledon Theatre on Wimbledon Broadway has recently been refurbished and hosts many delightful plays and musicals including a popular Christmas pantomime. Further down Wimbledon Broadway is the Polka Theatre, which puts on shows for young children.
