'Fatfield' is a small village in Tyne and Wear, located in the City of Sunderland metropolitan borough. It formed part of the Washington New Town.
It had national publicity in the 1990's when the village was challenged to lose weight on the ''Fatfield Diet'' as part of a television programme.
The housing style in Fatfield consists of centrally located attached council houses (known as white houses due to their colour) and privately owned detached houses located in quiet cul-de-sacs on the outskirts. Washington Arts Centre is also located in Fatfield.
