A Little Bit About SW20
The SW postcode district was originally created as part of the London Postal District in 1857. In 1868 some of the areas of the abolished S district were added. The postal district of SW20 covers Raynes Park, Lower Morden, Merton Park and Wimbledon Chase. The local authority covering these areas is Merton.
The name Raynes Park originates from the Raynes family who were landowners in the area and it was first used during the 1870s. Prior to this the area was known as Cottenham Park. Formerly rural farmland on the outskirts of London, Raynes Park was only developed in the late 19th century with the opening of the railway and it is the fast connections into London Waterloo that continues to draw people here today. Raynes Park benefits from a superb position, surrounded by green spaces, which is why it is such a popular destination for families. Cannon Hill Common offers 21 hectares of open space and is has a Grade I listing for Nature Conservation with woodland which dates back for over 140 years.
Until the last quarter of the 19th century, the parish of Merton was mainly rural. The area now known as Merton Park was farm land owned by City merchant John Innes who was the local “lord of the manor”. The rapid development of Wimbledon to the north encouraged Innes to develop his land for housing. He his garden suburbs model (similar to Bedford Park in Chiswick) and developed the tree-lined roads of detached and semi-detached houses for which the area is known.
