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 plus the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, but excluding Clapham and most of Streatham, which were transferred to the London Borough of Lambeth.
The local authority is Wandsworth London Borough Council. In line with population estimates produced part way through 2014, the borough features a permanent population of about 312145 inhabitants. You'll find many new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside such as the large Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of many such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle often 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.
