The commons

• Tooting Common
• Wandsworth Common

Two management advisory committees meet with us to discuss matters related to the commons. See MACs for contact information and dates of next meetings.

For information and explanation of ecological works on the commons, or walks, trails, or other events, see Latest news, or contact the biodiversity office on (020) 8871 7019.  Here is a list of birds you may see on the commons during the summer Common_birds.pdf. 

Other commons in or near Wandsworth

While a "green chain" of commons runs through south-west London, only two fall within Wandsworth. Others are managed as follows:

• Wimbledon Common, Putney Common and Putney Heath are managed by the Commons Conservators, phone 020 8788 7655 or email wpcc@gxn.co.uk
• Clapham Common and Streatham Common are managed by Lambeth  www.lambeth.gov.uk

• Barnes Common is managed by Richmond www.richmond.gov.uk 

The Metropolitan Public Gardens Assocation, founded in 1882, had considerable involvement in the preservation and enhancement of commons protected from development under specific Acts.  Today MPGA continues to work for London's commons.  Contact Joyce Bellamy, 348 London Road, Mitcham, CR4 3ND, phone (020) 8648 9469.
