The London Borough of Wandsworth is a London borough in England, and forms part of Inner London. The borough was formed in 1965 from the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea as well as the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, but excluding Clapham and most of Streatham, which were transferred towards the London Borough of Lambeth.
It covers a total area of around 13.23 square miles. According to population estimates created in the middle of 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of around 312145 people. You'll find lots of new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside such as the substantial Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of several such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle often hosting circuses next to the Thames. The London Heliport, London's major 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.
