Hello poppyann

Yes South rd is still there in Wimbledon, I came from Wimledon,
South Rd is between wandle bank and Byegrove rd, run's along the back of Wandle park,
It has changed a lot in the last 10yrs.

Hi

I'd 'walk' it first on Google maps (Merton SW19). If it was this road then it looks mostly modern flats.
