Schools in Sutton, London
Inter-war and Edwardian houses line the residential streets of the London Borough of Sutton, whose most distinctive landmark is Roundshaw Downs, where the grass-covered runways of Britain's first international airport, opened in 1920, now form a local nature reserve on the borough's southeastern edge. Crime rates here sit consistently among the lowest in London.
Sutton station connects the borough's 210,000 residents to London Victoria via Southern services and north across the city on Thameslink. Roundshaw is among the most school-competitive postcodes in the borough, with families concentrating in its southern catchments where school demand runs high. The conservation-area streets of Carshalton and the leafier avenues of Cheam form the residential backbone, while Sutton town centre anchors the commercial and civic core of this outer south London borough.
