[[Wandsworth Common]] is set back from the river, at the top of East Hill, and is adjoined by an area known locally as "the Toast Rack" that has some of the most expensive townhouses in London,<ref name=timeout/> as well as the restaurant ''[[Chez Bruce]]'', formerly ''Harveys'', where chef [[Gordon Ramsay]] learned his trade, and for which co-owner Bruce Poole gained a Michelin star in 1999. Also in the area is the [[Royal Victoria Patriotic Building]], which now contains flats, a theatre school and a restaurant.

The Tonsleys/Old York Road is a residential area of old Wandsworth close to the river and town centre, so called because many of the street names have the word "Tonsley" included. It has a village feel with the Old York Road's cafes and shops at its heart. The area has three notable pubs: the Royal Standard, the East Hill and the Alma. East Hill is an area of large Victorian houses bordered by the west side of Wandsworth Common. From 2007 to 2014 the area was used as the location for the BBC TV series ''[[Outnumbered (UK TV series)|Outnumbered]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/08_august/17/outnumbered_production.shtml|title=Press Office: Outnumbered: Production notes |publisher=BBC|date=17 August 2007|access-date=8 November 2022}}</ref>

[[Wandsworth High Street]] is dominated by the regenerated [[Southside Wandsworth|Southside shopping centre]], cinema and restaurant complex (formerly called the [[Arndale Centre]]). Behind the shopping centre, and following the River Wandle upstream towards [[Earlsfield]] and further south to [[Wimbledon, London|Wimbledon]], is [[King George's Park]].

[[Wandsworth Museum]] previously occupied the former Victorian library in [[West Hill, Wandsworth|West Hill]] having been moved there in 2007. The museum closed in March 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://artuk.org/visit/venues/bac-moving-museum-wandsworth-collection-4895|title=BAC Moving Museum: Wandsworth Collection |website= Art UK |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220829163112/https://artuk.org/visit/venues/bac-moving-museum-wandsworth-collection-4895 |archive-date= Aug 29, 2022 }}</ref>  The [[De Morgan Centre]] is currently situated in Wandsworth Museum and houses a collection of Victorian artwork. A green plaque to commemorate aviation pioneer [[Alliott Verdon Roe]] was unveiled by Wandsworth Council and members of the Verdon-Roe family beside the A3 close to Wandsworth Fire Station on the site of Roe's first workshop in the stables of his brother's house at 47 West Hill.

The underpass beneath the Wandsworth Bridge roundabout was the location for the scene in [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' in which a tramp is attacked.{{cn|date=August 2022}}
