Beddington
Beddington is a low-rise residential and amenity-land locality occupying the north-east corner of the London Borough of Sutton.
Beddington is a low-rise residential and amenity-land locality occupying the north-east corner of the London Borough of Sutton. Towards its north is a green landscape Beddington Park – sometimes known as Carew Manor beyond which is a nature reserve and important sewage treatment works. The River Wandle weaves through that area from east to west where is also a light industry and distribution park bearing its name. In the south, much of the land today forms Roundshaw which is of a similar size to the northern residual land. Residents use conflicting modern place-name definitions but it is defined in UK city style by Sutton Council electoral wards, amenities, and more traditionally by parishes as they include or omit its name. Beddington has minor or even forgotten status within its once extensive southern and western parts – Beddington has neither a train station, nor a post town status in a part of the capital city which uses both. In post towns, it is within its Victorian daughter parish to the west, Wallington which was a much narrower manor, but did have status in the earlier basic system of Hundred courts.
