A little history

Sutton in London. London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom, and its ancient core, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium. The London Borough of Sutton is an Outer London borough in south London, bordering Surrey to the west and south. Its principal town is Sutton.

Notable neighbourhoods in Sutton include:

Carshalton and Wallington. Carshalton is a town with a historic village centre in the valley of the River Wandle, where Carshalton Ponds are one of the river's sources. Wallington was part of Surrey until the Municipal Borough of Beddington and Wallington merged into the London Borough of Sutton in 1965. By the 13th century it was partly known as Hakebrug, after a bridge on the River Wandle.

Cheam and West Sutton. Cheam is a suburb divided into North Cheam, Cheam Village and South Cheam. Cheam Village contains the listed Lumley Chapel and Whitehall, and the suburb lies beside Cheam Park and Nonsuch Park, which holds the listed Nonsuch Mansion. West Sutton has a railway station on the Sutton Loop Line, close to Gander Green Lane, the home ground of Sutton United.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighbourhood in this race has residents to count.

Stoneleigh (14.4 per 1,000 from 23 crimes among 1,594 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighbourhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighbourhood.
