About

West Putney ward occupies a northwestern section of the London Borough of Wandsworth, stretching from the Thames Path southward to Putney Heath. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses and low-rise apartment blocks. Its western boundary is marked by Putney Heath and the expansive Wimbledon Common, providing significant green space. The district is well-connected by several bus routes along Upper Richmond Road and has good access to Putney railway station for services into Waterloo.
