Wandsworth

We are London's largest inner borough, stretching from Vauxhall in the east out to the edge of Richmond Park in the west. Nearly fifty per cent of our population is aged 20-39, meaning we have one of the largest groups of young professionals in the country.

Wandsworth is well connected to central London and the South East with Europe's busiest train station Clapham Junction, and to the world with quick access to London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

As well as being on central London's doorstep, our residents enjoy the many parks and commons that make up a quarter of the borough. They also pay the lowest council tax in the country.

Wandsworth is 'the business borough'.  With an estimated 15,000 businesses, most of which are SMEs, we are among the country's top ten for business formation rates.

London's largest centrally located regeneration opportunity is Nine Elms, Wandsworth. The area takes in 450 acres of land, extending from Vauxhall in the east to the international landmark, Battersea Power Station in the west. The site is larger than Canary Wharf, and includes central London's last remaining section of undeveloped Thames riverside. The new Nine Elms will see the development of around 16,000 new homes and the creation of 25,000 new jobs.

Landmark developments at Battersea Power Station, New Covent Garden Market and the new US Embassy will transform the area into a international residential and business quarter.

Wandsworth Council and the Mayor of London share this vision for a new Nine Elms.
