Tramway Terrace was the name of 30 houses, on the west side of Carshalton Road and south of Arney’s Lane, north of Goat Road. They were numbered from 1 to 30 going from south to north.

In the 1925 street directory, the houses had been renumbered as part of Carshalton Road, going north to south as 24 to 53 inclusive.
