The London Borough of Wandsworth is a London borough in England, and forms part of Inner London. The borough was created in 1965 from the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea and also the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, but excluding Clapham and the majority of Streatham, which were transferred towards the London Borough of Lambeth.
The local authority is Wandsworth London Borough Council. In line with population estimates created in the middle of 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of around 312145 inhabitants. You will find many new or refurbished buildings along the borough's prosperous riverside which includes the large Chelsea Bridge Wharf.
The Peace Pagoda, one of several such international Pagodas is in Battersea Park, a sprawling rectangle frequently 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 rare Grade II* status.
