What is this research?
Over Autumn 2025 - Spring 2026, Wandsworth Town Property Partnership (WTPP) will be investigating how organisations and residents identify with Wandsworth Town and what they would like to see in its future. WTPP will be hosting a series of interviews, surveys, and workshops to gather this data.
How can I contribute to the research?
This research project is split into two parts.
The first phase (October 2025 - January 2026) will explore local residents’ and organisations’ experiences of Wandsworth Town’s public realm. This will be through a series of interviews with local organisations, street surveys with residents, and online surveys aimed at local organisations and residents.
The second phase (January 2026 - February 2026) is inspired by Doughnut Economics (DEAL) principles and will develop a Community Portrait of Wandsworth Town. This will be through a series of participatory workshops with local residents.
The research will culminate in a report with a series of findings and recommendations in Spring 2026.
Why is this research needed?
Wandsworth Town is undergoing a period of rapid change, with the Wandsworth Growth Plan setting out a vision for over 3,000 new homes, major infrastructure investment, and the transformation of the Clapham Junction-Wandsworth Town growth corridor. This is one of London’s most dynamic development areas, combining new housing, commercial space, transport improvements, and public realm upgrades.
Against this backdrop, the Wandsworth Town Property Partnership is launching a new research programme to understand the opportunities and challenges that this growth presents. The work will examine the scale and impact of current and planned development, assess infrastructure and community needs, and explore how growth can deliver lasting benefits for residents, businesses, and investors.
What are the aims of this research?
Our aim is to provide clear, evidence-based insights that guide how we work with all our stakeholders to build strong partnerships for the common good, ensuring Wandsworth Town evolves as a sustainable, inclusive, and thriving part of London’s future. This research will shape WTPP’s priorities within the public realm and inform our activities over the next two years. It will also align with and complement Wandsworth Borough Council’s ongoing Wandsworth Town Project Engagement Strategy.
