Who are Wimbledon Park Co-operative
We are a Residents’ Management Organisation (RMO) that was set up by residents in 1992, to take over the management of Wmbledon Park Estate. Wimbledon Park Co-operative is one of a number of resident and tenant managed housing organisations in Wandsworth.
We are a non-profit organisation, and we are run by a volunteer Management Committee of residents. Our objectives are to make sure the Estate is maintained to the highest standards and to provide a first class service to the residents.
About Wimbledon Park Estate
Wimbledon Park Estate is within walking distance from Southfields Station, Wimbledon Park, and the famous Wimbledon tennis courts. It is close to all amenities and well served by bus routes and underground (District Line). Southfields is a mixed area of private houses, private apartment blocks and housing estates and attractive green spaces.
The Wimbledon Park Estate was built by Wandsworth Borough Council and consists of seven four to eight storey blocks. The oldest block was built in the 1930s, while the others were built in the 1950s and 1960s. The Estate consists of 279 flats and an estate office. All the blocks are set in well-maintained, large communal gardens, making it a very pleasant place to live.
Allenswood is one of the blocks on Wimbledon Park Estate. It was once home to the “Allenswood Academy”. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of its students who went on to become wife to the 32nd President of the United States of America and a Human Rights advocate:
