Motspur Park

Motspur Park, also known locally as West Barnes is a suburb in South West London situated across the boundary between the London boroughs of Merton and Kingston upon Thames. It owes its identity to the railway station of the same name, which has four trains an hour to London's Waterloo, and to the adjacent parade of small shops. Two prominent gas holders, which are used to store the consumer gas supply for south west London stand just south of the shopping parade and can be seen from a wide area.

Two of London’s minor natural water courses run through the area. The Beverley Brook runs south to north through its centre and its smaller tributary the Pyl Brook runs parallel further to the east. These have in the past given rise to some local flooding.
