Sands End
Sands End lies in the southernmost part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in London, England. Along the banks of the Thames lies Hurlingham Retail Park, which houses Currys and PC World.
There is also a business enterprise centre in the Sulivan region. Across the other side of Townmead Road there is a large Sainsbury's, and currently there is the Imperial Wharf development, which will be a mixture of affordable housing, both private and public, shops, a park, and a new London Overground station Imperial Wharf, linking Clapham Junction with Willesden Junction via Kensington (Olympia). The station was due to open in September 2005, but a funding shortfall, now bridged, led to a delay. Currently under construction, it will now open in late 2009 or 2010. This will help re-vitalise the area and increase the transport links in the areas which until now, have only been served by two bus services (391 & C3 routes).
Also set in this part of Fulham is both Hurlingham Park and South Park. Wandsworth Bridge Road, which runs through the centre of Sands End offers some restaurants, some pine shops, and St Matthew's Church.
In October 2008 a new interactive local history website Sands End Revisited was published containing photos and memories from residents - past and present. A reunion will take place in September 2009.
