Welcome to Sands End

Sands End is a small district located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is situated on the southern bank of the River Thames and is bordered by the districts of Chelsea and Fulham. The area was once a marshland, but it was drained in the 19th century to make way for residential and industrial development. Today, Sands End is a thriving community with a mix of residential and commercial properties.

One of the most notable landmarks in Sands End is the Imperial Wharf development. This mixed-use development was completed in 2009 and features luxury apartments, shops, restaurants, and a marina. The development has transformed the area and has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The marina is particularly popular with boat owners, and there are several boat clubs and sailing schools in the area.

Sands End is also home to several parks and green spaces, including South Park and Eel Brook Common. These parks provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life and are popular with families and dog walkers. South Park is particularly popular with sports enthusiasts and features a range of facilities, including tennis courts, a basketball court, and a skate park. Overall, Sands End is a vibrant and diverse district that offers something for everyone.
