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 area of the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea plus the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, but excluding Clapham and most of Streatham, which were transferred towards the London Borough of Lambeth.
The local authority is Wandsworth London Borough Council. As outlined by population estimates made part way through 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of about 312145 people. You'll find several new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside including the substantial Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of many such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle frequently hosting circuses beside the Thames. The London Heliport, London's key 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 uncommon Grade II* status.
