Furzedown

Furzedown ward occupies the southwestern corner of the London Borough of Wandsworth, bordering the London Borough of Merton. The area is primarily residential, characterised by streets of Edwardian and Victorian terraced houses, along with inter-war and post-war housing estates. Tooting Bec Common forms a significant green boundary to the north, providing extensive recreational space with its grasslands, ponds, and sports facilities. The local centre along Streatham Road offers a range of essential shops and services for the community.

The ward is anchored by educational institutions, including Graveney School, a large secondary academy. Public transport is served by Streatham Common railway station, located just outside the ward's eastern edge, connecting to Central London and the south. A notable local landmark is the Furzedown Project, a community centre operating from a former Victorian schoolhouse, which hosts various clubs and activities. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of private and social housing defining the area's character.
