The West Putney ward occupies the western edge of Putney in the London Borough of Wandsworth, hugging the north bank of the River Thames. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar housing and modern riverside developments around Putney Embankment, while a compact high street offers independent shops, cafés and pubs and good transport links via Putney Bridge and nearby rail and Underground services.
Culturally the area is shaped by the river and rowing - the annual Boat Race sets off from the Putney stretch - and a strong local community presence around schools, churches and residents’ associations. The wider Putney area carries historical resonance from the 1647 Putney Debates at St Mary's Church, Putney, and economically the ward tends to be relatively affluent compared with some south London neighbourhoods while still exhibiting a mixed social profile and pockets of social housing.
