Property Description
Situated in south-west London in the Borough of Merton, is Worple Road Mews; a cobbled cul-de-sac off Worple Road. The Mews contains 23 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 Raymond Road in World War II, south-west of the Mews.
The two storey properties have plain brickwork facades and a mixture of mansard, gable and flat roof styles, surrounded by a cobbled road surface with intact garages.
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 used primarily for commercial purposes.
Before and since 2003 there have been a few planning applications made for alterations to the properties within the Mews, the most notable being; roof extensions and other minor alterations. Conservation Area controls apply to any new development in the Mews.
