Types of Materials found in Carshalton
Carshalton sits within the London Basin, where chalk bedrock lies beneath much of this part of south London, generally giving firmer, better draining ground than the London Clay found further north and east across the capital. The River Wandle and its associated ponds add local variation, with ground closer to the water table and springs that feed the ponds tending to be softer and more prone to holding moisture than the surrounding higher ground.
