This affluent Edwardian neighbourhood sits in the borough of Kingston upon Thames. The locality is filled with schools, family homes, parks, trees, and small rivers, making this a great area for families. It is also home to Fulham Football Club’s training ground, which brings in a small stream of tourists wishing to watch the team train. The area is very close to the numerous Korean restaurants and shops that line New Malden High Street, giving residents a variety of cuisines and bars just a stone’s throw away. The area also contains Motspur Park station, a South Western Railway station that makes it a quick journey into central London. It is a great neighbourhood for commuters who are seeking more space and get away from the hustle and bustle of central London, as well as those priced out of the more central parts of town.

The name Motspur Park derives from Motspur Farm, as the area was rural right up to the end of the nineteenth century when the railway station was built. Two local lanes, West Barnes Lane and Blakes Lane both of which are in this neighbourhood, represent remnants from this rural era.The railway itself was constructed through the locality in 1859 but the Motspur Park station was not added until 1925. The area was developed as a suburb in the years just before the First and up to the Second World War due to the later arrival of the Motspur Park train station. The area also saw heavy bombing during WWII as the recreation club grounds were then used as anti-aircraft batteries.

Beverley Brook’s name came from the former presence of a beaver species that has been extinct in Britain since the 16th century. Beverley therefore derives from Beavers Ley - a place where beavers live.

The area is very suburban and quiet, and there is not a huge variety in shops and restaurants directly in its boundaries, which can be a downside for some. However, there are larger neighbourhood centres close by and it is likely that this area will be further developed in the next decade.

This community oriented suburb is likely to benefit from the dearth of new development projects which are expected to revitalise the nearby urban centre of New Malden. The biggest change is likely to be the introduction of Crossrail 2, which will reduce journey times into central London and alleviate congestion on the busy South Western Main Line. However, the project has been on hold since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and is not expected to be completed until well after 2030. In the more immediate future, a major regeneration scheme on the Cocks Crescent site in the centre of New Malden has been approved by the council. It is hoped that the project - which will comprise a new leisure centre, community hub, and 400 new homes - will help fund the wider regeneration of the town centre. Closer to Motspur Park itself, a planning application has been submitted for a block of flats on Burlington Road. The proposal is similar to a previous application made in 2020 with one storey taken off the top. Local residents groups have submitted objections to the council, which can be seen as representative of a larger concern about development stemming from increased interest in surrounding areas.
