Greenoak Way, SW19

Place Name

This late high end development was laid out in 1982, and follows a long tradition by house builders of naming new streets after local landmarks and vegetation, in this case a couple of old oak trees. No doubt the term green was added to emphasise the closeness to Wimbledon Common, and so to better appeal to prospective housebuyers. The land on which this, and neighbouring streets was laid out on was once were part of the grounds of Atherton Grange.
