Stamford House, Wimbledon Explained

Stamford House is a Grade II listed house on the west side of Wimbledon Common, Wimbledon, London, built in about 1720.

Stamford House housed a "series of local vicars", and later became a school.^[1]

From 1926 to 1940, there was a theosophical community living at Stamford House, led by Edward Lewis Gardner (1869-1969), who was a leading member of the Theosophical Society in England, and its general secretary from 1924 to 1928.^[2]

Soldiers were billeted here during the Second World War, after which it was converted into nine flats.^{[3] [4]}
