Mortlake and Barnes Common sits on the inner bend of the River Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, combining the villagey character of Barnes with the more suburban, riverside feel of Mortlake. Narrow streets, Georgian and Victorian terraces and handsome riverside houses give the area a conservation-led character, while Barnes and Mortlake stations provide straightforward rail links into central London.
The ward is notable for its green spaces - in particular Barnes Common and the nearby London Wetland Centre - and for a strong riverside leisure scene, with rowing clubs and the historic Boat Race association at Mortlake. Former industrial sites such as the old brewery have been redeveloped for housing, and the local economy is dominated by relatively affluent residential demand alongside independent shops, pubs and a lively small-scale cultural scene.
