South West London

A list of notable locations in South West London, including Barnes' Home, Earlsfield Crossroads, Mortlake Cemetery, and Richmond Park, among others, with a clickable link for more information.

A large number of locations in the Lockwood & Co books are so minor, they are barely mentioned at all. They are just incidents or cases mentioned in a very general way. But the aim of the George’s Gazetteer is to be thorough, so we couldn’t leave the cases and incidents off the map – or our index. Instead, we have grouped them together in a very loose geographical sense. You may find this interesting when you are staying in certain areas of the city.
