Wandsworth Common

About Wandsworth Common

South-west London is well provided with open common land dating back to mediaeval origins. The Commons today are protected by legislation over and above other public parks. They provide wide sweeps of natural landscape and amenity sports facilities. Wandsworth Common includes the former Battersea West Heath replete with boundary markers. There are woods, lakes, and heath, as well as playgrounds, café, bowls and tennis, and a trim trail.

Woodland and meadow improvements

From mid-October 2026, we will be carrying out woodland and meadow improvement works in an area of Wandsworth Common near Trinity Road and Burntwood Lane (The Scope). These works will enhance the woodland by creating and improving glades, installing bat boxes, adding a new woodchip path and creating better habitats for wildlife. A new wildflower meadow will also be created.

Find out more about these works.
