Benhilton is a suburban parish in north Sutton, Greater London.[1] It is dominated by All Saints Church, which is a Grade II* listed building[2][3] designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon in a Gothic Revival style[3] and opened in 1863.[4] It also contains All Saints Benhilton, C of E Primary and Greenshaw High School.

Benhilton is significantly elevated above the surrounding area. Great Grennell, the hill on which St Helier Hospital and Greenshaw High School is located, is up to 64m AOD at its highest point; Benhill to the south, approximately where Oakhill Road meets Thicket Road, is 60m; Angel Hill is 53m.[5]

Benhilton mostly lies within Sutton North ward of Sutton Council but also includes parts of Sutton Central, Carshalton Central and The Wrythe; the four ward borders meet in Erskine Village.[6]
