Brentham Garden Suburb was the first garden suburb to be built on ‘Co-partnership’ principles and was an inspiration for the later, larger and more famous Hampstead Garden Suburb. It was designed to a plan by the leading garden city architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, with houses, mostly in the Arts and Crafts style.

In 1969 Brentham Garden Suburb was designated a conservation area. The Brentham Society was formed in the same year to support and maintain the character of the area. See Link for more information.

This photograph was taken looking across Meadvale Road from Denison Road. The small green plaque on the wall says "FRED PERRY 1909-1995 Tennis Champion played here 1919-1935" It was in 1934, 1935 and 1936 that Fred Perry won successive Wimbledon gentlemen's singles titles.
