About

Wandsworth Common sits in the London Borough of Wandsworth and covers about 148 acres (60 hectares) of open space. The layout includes mature trees, wide grassy stretches and two ponds that mark its centre. Paths cross the site and link a bandstand, bowling green, tennis courts and a children’s play area. The common has a long history as public land and its open fields and tree groups reflect older field boundaries rather than a formal park plan.

Local transport meets the edge of the common: Wandsworth Common railway station lies on the southeast boundary and offers regular trains to Clapham Junction and London Victoria. Community groups and sports clubs use the space for matches and events through the year, while walkers and runners follow established routes under the tree canopy. Management focuses on balancing recreation with trees and pond habitats so the area remains a working green space for nearby streets and housing.
