About

Sands End occupies the southeastern corner of the borough, defined by the Thames to the south and the railway lines to the north and west. Its industrial past is evident in the converted warehouses and the enduring presence of the Imperial Gas Works site. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and modern apartment developments clustered around its central greenspace, South Park.

The district is anchored by the sprawling Imperial Wharf development, a large complex of apartments, shops, and a Thames-side promenade built on former industrial land. The area's connection to the river is fundamental, with the distinctive Chelsea Creek cutting inland, home to a working boatyard and the eclectic Lot's Road Power Station marking its eastern boundary. Transport links are dominated by the Overground station at Imperial Wharf.
