Sydenham is a suburb west of central Durban, South Africa.

Sydenham added to Durban Municipality

Although the municipal area of Durban was quite sizeable, and until 1932 comprised some 12 square miles (31 km2), a number of suburbs developed about its perimeter, and in 1921 village management boards were established at South Coast Junction, Umhlatuzana, Mayville, Sydenham and Greenwood Park.[2]
