A woman in her 20s was allegedly raped in Wimbledon in the early hours of Saturday morning police have confirmed.

The incident took place just before 3am in a private car park in South Park Road, close to the junction with Trinity Road.

Residents said officers cordoned off the car park next to Keble Court, a privately-rented block of flats, while they investigated on Saturday morning.

No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.

A Keble Court resident, who asked not to be named, said: "We didn't hear anything on Friday night.

"There was a police car outside in the morning and they had cordoned off the whole car park and there were three detectives.

"They didn't tell us there had been a rape."

Keble Court is in South Park Road, at the junction with Trinity Road. 

A woman who lives on the other side of the car park said: "It's terrible to think a rape happened just behind that wall but I didn't hear anything.

"We hear foxes but nothing else. We've got double glazing you see."

There was no sign of a police presence at Keble Court this morning. The property is just down the road from Wimbledon Police Station.

A Montague Road resident who passes Keble Court to get to Wimbledon Station, said: "I am really really shocked something like this has happened. I always feel safe in this area so close to the police station.

The woman, who moved to the UK from Hong Kong last year, added: "I don't think London is a safe place to live."
