Beddington is a low-rise residential and amenity-land locality occupying the north-east corner of the London Borough of Sutton. Towards its north is a green landscape Beddington Park – sometimes known as Carew Manor beyond which is a nature reserve and important sewage treatment works. The River Wandle weaves through that area from east to west where is also a light industry and distribution park bearing its name. In the south, much of the land today forms Roundshaw which is of a similar size to the northern residual land. Residents use conflicting modern place-name definitions but it is defined in UK city style by Sutton Council electoral wards, amenities, and more traditionally by parishes as they include or omit its name. Beddington has minor or even forgotten status within its once extensive southern and western parts – Beddington has neither a train station, nor a post town status in a part of the capital city which uses both. In post towns, it is within its Victorian daughter parish to the west, Wallington which was a much narrower manor, but did have status in the earlier basic system of Hundred courts.

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Wandle, about 500 m from the middle of Beddington's gauges. It flows into the River Thames (Battersea Reach) about 14 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Wandle nearest the middle of Beddington's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.

No recorded flood outline is mapped around the Beddington town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. FloodRadar has separately logged 10 flood warnings or alerts for the Greater London area since February 2026. See the flood history link below.
