Hendon is a ward of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, sitting just to the west of the city centre. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing alongside small industrial and commercial pockets, and lies within easy reach of the city’s amenities and the River Wear.
The area’s character has been shaped by Sunderland’s shipbuilding and coal heritage, and today you find local shops, schools and community centres alongside pockets of regeneration and social housing. There is a strong local identity, visible in community groups and the widespread support for Sunderland A.F.C., while ongoing economic and social initiatives aim to improve services and opportunities for residents.
