The London Borough of Wandsworth is a London borough in England, and forms part of Inner London. The borough was established in 1965 from the former part of the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea and the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, but excluding Clapham and most of Streatham, which were transferred to the London Borough of Lambeth.
It covers a total area of around 13.23 square miles. In line with population estimates created during 2014, the borough has a permanent population of about 312145 people. There are lots of new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside such as the large Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of several such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle often hosting circuses beside the Thames. The London Heliport, London's most important and busiest heliport is just beyond Battersea Park and south of this is New Covent Garden Market. In Old Battersea two masonry mansions survived The Blitz, Old Battersea House and Downshire House, both of which hold the rare Grade II* status.
