Plough Lane was a football stadium in Wimbledon, south west London. For nearly eighty years it was the home ground of Wimbledon Football Club, from September 1912 until May 1991, when the club moved their first team home matches to Selhurst Park as part of a groundshare agreement with Crystal Palace. Both clubs' reserve teams then used Plough Lane as their home ground until 1998, when the site was sold to Safeway, who intended to redevelop the site as a supermarket. Whilst site redevelopment plans were negotiated, the stadium remained derelict for several years until it was finally demolished in 2002. When permission for a supermarket was ultimately refused by the local authority, Safeway sold the site and it was eventually developed as a private housing development known as Reynolds Gate, named after former Wimbledon F.C. striker Eddie Reynolds, which was completed in 2008. Plans to build a new stadium for AFC Wimbledon on the nearby site of the Wimbledon Greyhound track, situated approximately 200 yards (183 metres) from the original Plough Lane stadium, were approved by Merton Council in December 2015. Construction on the 'New Plough Lane' began in 2018, and it opened on 3 November 2020.

Norbury Brook is a tributary of the River Wandle that rises near Lower Addiscombe Road and flows north-west through Selhurst, Thornton Heath and Norbury to join the Wandle at south Wimbledon. A short stretch of this is visible in South Norwood at Heavers' Meadow, near Selhurst railway station, where the brook can be seen in a concrete channel next to the British Rail works as it runs north west along the bottom of the site before disappearing beneath Selhurst Road. It is fenced off here because it can be very dangerous, especially after a rain storm, where the water level can rise several feet in a few minutes as the water rapidly drains from the roads and hard surfaces around and into the surface water drain. The brook reappears in Thornton Heath Recreation Ground, running along the western boundary of the park in a deep concrete channel. Most of the time the brook is fairly shallow, but during heavy rainfall water quickly drains from the adjacent built up areas and the water level rapidly rises. It then continues behind several private houses in between before reaching Norbury Park where, once again, it is hidden behind a tall fence. The brook continues west, to form the boundary between Norbury and Streatham on London Road at Hermitage Bridge, where it is one of the few rivers remaining overground in the area. As the boundary between the London County Council and Croydon for many years people wishing to travel south had to get off an LCC tram, walk across the bridge and catch a Croydon tram. West of the bridge the brook becomes the River Graveney, where it flows on to join the Wandle, and ultimately the River Thames. There is a small tributary of the Graveney called the Little Graveney Stream, which runs through Figges Marsh and was culverted in the early 20th century and is no longer visible. It joins the Graveney near Tooting Junction Station. Two other tributaries of the Graveney are commemorated by local street names, Donnybrook and Fallsbrook Roads. During 1976 drought, water flooded out of sewer on Aberfoyle Road. A house on Edgington Road near the railway experienced flooding in 1976, 1993 and 2000. Besley and Leverson Streets descend to the valley of the Graveney and Fallsbrook Road, possibly following course of stream. Up to the 1970s, a house on Streatham Vale near junction with Farmhouse Road had in front garden a badly eroded Roman pillar (milestone?) with words ____ER, FLU___ carved on it. Streatham was known as Streatham Wells in many old maps.

It is owned and managed by Merton Council.A map of 1847 shows the site as Byegrove Mead, which may have been managed as water meadows. In 1877 it was acquired by a sewage company, and it formed part of a sewage works until this closed in 1970. A plan to build a stadium for Wimbledon Football Club on the site was strongly opposed by local residents, and in 1989 it was designated as a nature reserve by Merton Council.The Meadow lies between the River Wandle and Mead Path, part of the Wandle Trail.
