About

Barnes ward occupies a low-lying bend of the Thames, characterised by expansive common land and a network of quiet residential streets. Its centre is dominated by the large, open spaces of Barnes Common and the adjacent Wetland Centre, a significant wildlife reserve created from former reservoirs. The area maintains a distinct separation from busier urban centres, with a high street of independent shops and a notable village green that hosts a weekly farmers' market.

The residential architecture is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian houses, alongside modern apartment developments near the riverfront. Transport is defined by railway connections at Barnes Bridge and Barnes stations, rather than underground lines. A specific local landmark is the Olympic Studios building, originally a film studio and later a renowned recording facility, which now operates as a cinema and restaurant.
