River Wandle in Ravensbury Park
Ravensbury Park was at one time part of the Ravensbury Estate. The estate was eventually broken up in 1929 and much was developed for housing, except for the present Ravensbury Park. This was bought jointly by Mitcham Council and Merton & Morden Council for £5,310. It was opened to the public in May 1930. The Wandle and its branches are the main feature of the park. This is the main channel of the Wandle looking upriver. The far bank is inaccessible.

River Wandle in Ravensbury Park
The river has been artificially widened here as part of the landscaping of the former country estate of Ravensbury Park. Most of the estate was sold off for building in the 1930s but a part of it was kept and is now a municipal park.
