Roundshaw occupies the former grounds of the Croydon Aerodrome, a site where the ghosts of aviation history still seem to linger in the vast, open skies. It lies 3.8 miles north-east of Banstead (from Banstead: bearing 56°T, OS grid TQ 301 631), and is situated north-east of Woodmansterne village. The landscape retains a distinctive, flattened geometry, reflecting its past as a runway for the pioneers of early flight. Today, Roundshaw Park extends across the old airfield, providing a sweeping expanse of grassland where the wind moves with an uninterrupted, restless energy. Modern residential streets now trace the perimeter of these fields, replacing the hangars that once defined the horizon. Nearby, the De Havilland Heron stands as a static reminder of the era when this land was a bustling gateway to the continent. Residents look out over these plains, where the quality of light at dusk often turns the grass a pale, bruised gold. The legacy of the aerodrome remains etched into the local identity, ensuring that the memory of flight is never far from the daily rhythm of life.
