A sprawling, scenic space in the heart of Wandsworth, Wandsworth Common is 171 acres with plenty of things to do and see when you visit. Just a short walk from Wandsworth Common train station, the common offers a number of walking trails, ponds for fishing, tennis courts and a cafe bar within the grounds. The common is fond of preserving the nature and wildlife that lives within the area so an educational centre was built called ‘The Scope’ which is open to visitors.
From a small venue in Camden to a fully functioning studio in Wandsworth, Backyard Cinema knows how to do a movie night.
