According to an article in the Guardian in 2004: Wandsworth has a greater proportion of people whose lifestyle, views and trends shape the zeitgeist more than anywhere else. The River Front is a former wharf area, and now a long river walk towards Battersea Village and the West End, lined with new apartment blocks and bars and restaurants. There are many independent cafés, bars and restaurants on St John's Hill, including the Evening Standard award winning Fish Club and Out Of The Blue, a popular wine bar. |
The High Street is dominated by the recently-regenerated Southside shopping centre, 14 screen cinema and restaurant complex. The centre is still often referred to by its former name of the Arndale Centre. Just around the corner, we have King Georges Park, which is host to a number of facilities such as a lake, bowling green, tennis courts, gardens and parking, as well as a riverside walk and cycle route. The park is also home to a host of wildlife, such as swans, dragonfly and a number of birds and plant life. |
