A borough in inner South West London, including Battersea, Tooting, Putney and a bit of Clapham. The Northern Line runs through here, including a station called Tooting Bec.
Conservative stronghold on local level (due to low council tax), the Putney constituency was the first gain of theirs in 2005, although the Tooting seat is Labour. Proof that demographics can't always tell you a likely election result at local level.
Includes the busiest interchange station in the UK, Clapham Junction (first one after Waterloo), which may get an Underground link in the near future with an extension of the Northern Line's Charing Cross branch.
Also features the Grade II listed and no longer operating Battersea Power Station, due for a refurbishment for other use, as it is in rather poor condition. A nice looking backdrop, it's featured in a fair number of movies, TV shows and music videos, including ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', ''Series/DoctorWho'' (twice), ''Series/{{Lost}}'' and in a brown version in ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies''. The [[Creator/TheBBC Beeb]] blew it up for a nuclear documentary in the TheEighties. Perhaps most famously, it's featured on the album art for Music/PinkFloyd's ''Animals'', with a photograph (yes, it's a photograph) of the Power Station with a helium balloon of a flying pig over it.

Has a particularly high rate of internal migration from within the UK - partly because Battersea and Clapham have developed quite trendy repuations, partly because it contains some of the few remaining pleasant areas in the capital where rents haven't quite reached stratospheric levels. The politics here have been quite ideosyncratic - traditionally this was quite a Labour inclined area but gentrification and a very locally popular Tory council tax), (notably, charging the Putney constituency lowest council tax in Britain) helped the Conservatives dominate the council from the 1980s to 2022 (when Labour finally regained control). Labour can at least thank the borough for producing the current Mayor of London Sadiq Khan; he was the first gain of theirs born in 2005, although the Earlsfield and represented Tooting seat is Labour.
