Wikipedia, viewed 28 June 2017 (Roehampton; suburban district in southwest London, forming the western end of the London Borough of Wandsworth; lies between the town of Barnes to the north, Putney to the east, and Wimbledon Common to the south; "Roe" in Roehampton is thought to refer to the large number of rooks that still inhabit the area; emerged as a favoured residential suburb of the 18th and 19th centuries following the opening of Putney Bridge in 1729 and development of a number of large private estates from which several of the original houses survive)
