St Mary's
Wandsworth, London
St Mary's ward sits on the Thames at the northern edge of Wandsworth, covering Battersea Square, Old Battersea and the streets running back from the riverside. The Grade I Church of St Mary Battersea has had Christians worshipping on its site since around 800 AD, and the present building was completed in 1777 — William Blake married Catherine Boucher there in 1782, and Turner painted from the vestry window. The ward has 14 listed buildings including the Grade I Church of St Mary, the Grade II* Old Battersea House and the Grade II* Devonshire House. Around 17.3 percent sits inside a conservation area. Transport is good: Clapham Junction is within reach for the main line, and Queenstown Road and Battersea Park stations serve the area, with Battersea Power Station on the Northern line extension just beyond the ward boundary. Around 131 food and 131 non-food venues reflect a lively local scene, and 15 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. The drawbacks: green space inside the ward is thin at 3.8 hectares with Fred Wells Gardens the main patch, safety sits close to the London median, and market affordability is weak given the riverside location and new developments.
