Overview
SW15 3QF lies in the Coombe Hill ward, a largely suburban neighbourhood straddling the border of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The area is characterised by leafy residential streets, generous detached and semi-detached homes, and proximity to open green spaces including Richmond Park and Coombe Hill Golf Club. It falls within the SW15 postcode district, which spans parts of Putney and Roehampton, though this part of the district is distinctly Kingston in character.
