Property Description
Situated in South-East London in the Borough of Southwark, is Upland Mews; a private and cobbled cul-de-sac approached through an entrance under a building on Upland Road. The Mews contains 2 properties used for commercial purposes. It is located on the site of an original Mews but has been re-developed to a degree that it no longer contains any surviving Mews properties.
The Mews is not part of a Conservation Area. A high explosive bomb fell onto Hindmans Road, north-west of the Mews in World War II and when the London Poverty Maps were originally published, the area was deemed to have poorer living conditions and lower than average household earnings for the time.
The two storey properties have painted brickwork facades and ridged roof styles, surrounded by a cobbled road surface with intact garages and restricted parking.
Everchanging Nature
The original purpose of the Mews was to provide stable/ coach house accommodation for the main houses on the surrounding streets and nowadays they are predominantly used for commercial purposes.
