Sometimes it is the small areas in London Boroughs that you really need to focus on. They can be a great alternative choice to the most popular spots. Bushey Mead certainly falls into that category. It is a great neighbourhood between Raynes Park and Wimbledon Chase. As one of the top providers of block management Merton can offer, we want to look at the area to see why it is a great choice for people considering this borough.

Development

In the early 1890s the creation of suburban homes began around Kingston Road. By the end of that decade growth had spread south. The area we know today as Bushey Mead was mostly complete by 1913. At the time there were twelve parallel streets of Victorian terraces. The roads the furthest south took the longest to complete.

Interestingly, some of the roads were never fully finished and connected. Today several attach to Bushey Mead Road to the south via footpaths. Some of the terraces had new additions more recently to finish them too.

It is also interesting to note how the area changes in terms of the map. Initially only the ladder of streets was thought of as Bushey Mead. In time though, areas to the south have been included too. Today maps suggest that a huge part of Cannon Hill is part of the area. That adds a huge amount of greenery.

Homes

Because we excel at block management in Merton, we get a great insight into the kind of homes you can find across the Borough. Bushey Mead has some really popular ones.

As we said above, there is a ladder of terraces. However, they are not all the same. Some homes have much grander designs, almost like mini Victorian villas. They can include bay windows and eye catching decorative touches.

Plus, there are slightly newer properties on some of the roads at the Kingston Road end. This is because of damage to the originals due to the bombing in WWII.

Why live here?

Bushey Mead has a reputation as a great spot for people moving up the property ladder. The homes are perfect for that step up, particularly for families.

On top of that, the area has some good amenities. Most notable is probably the transport connections. There are four train stations nearby; South Merton, Wimbledon Chase, Motspur Park, and Raynes Park. The first three are all relatively quiet, but the latter can get busy. So, commuting is pretty easy.

Families will also appreciate that there are a number of schools nearby. This includes Joseph Hood Primary (Good rating), Wimbledon Chase Primary (Outstanding), and Rutlish School (Outstanding).

This is also an area with a reputation for being relatively safe. Merton as a whole is in the top ten safest boroughs in London (2021 stats). The crime rate was 28% lower than the city as a whole.

There are also some impressive amenities too. For example there are a number of local shops, a good mix of restaurants and cafes, and some lovely pubs.
