| Wandsworth is a town on the south bank of the River Thames in south-west London. It is at the centre of the London Borough of Wandsworth, made up of Balham, Battersea, Clapham Junction, Earlsfield, Nine Elms, Putney, Roehampton, Southfields, and Tooting. Wandsworth takes its name from the River Wandle, which enters the Thames at Wandsworth. Wandsworth town is a relatively small, roughly triangular-shaped stretch of land, running down to the Thames. There are many individually owned cafés, bars and restaurants occupying St John's hill and Old York Road (Tonsleys), reflecting the local government's policy of restricting chain stores to the newly-regenerated Southside shopping centre, cinema and restaurant complex (formerly and more commonly referred to as the Arndale Centre). Wandsworth has two pubs featured in the Good Pub Guide: The Ship Inn (popular with local familes); and The Alma (popular with post-work city workers and rugby fans). |
