Elliott School, former school in Putney, London, United Kingdom
Elliott School is a school building in the London Borough of Wandsworth designed in the early 1950s by the London County Council. The structure features large windows, functional design, and was listed as Grade II in recognition of its architectural merit.
Founded in 1904 as Southfields School, the institution became Elliott Central School in 1911 after Sir Charles Elliott. In 1956 it merged with Huntingfield Secondary Modern School and relocated to the Pullman Gardens site in 1957.
The school served as a gathering place where students pursued language learning and creative expression. Its theater and art studios reflected the community's investment in broader education beyond traditional subjects.
The location near local shops, parks, and transport links makes the site convenient for visitors and families in the area. The building's broad entrances and spacious layout allow for easy movement through the grounds.
The school served as a filming location for scenes in Love Actually in 2003, with well-known actors visiting the set during Christmas pageant sequences. This film connection remains a surprising detail in the school's local history.
