Sands End sits on the south bank of the River Thames within the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, tucked between Fulham and Chelsea. Historically an industrial fringe of London with wharves, works and market gardens, its low-lying riverside geography still marks it out from the busier town centres nearby.
In recent decades the neighbourhood has seen significant regeneration - riverside developments around Imperial Wharf, new housing and a smattering of creative businesses sit alongside older social housing, independent pubs and community projects. The area retains a mixed social character and a local focus, with good transport links and a pronounced sense of having moved from heavy industry to a quieter, more residential riverside quarter.
