About our ward

We are the long thin ward, the one on the western edge of our constituency. We stretch from the river all the way to lower Belgravia. We have a high proportion of social housing, but we have people living in every sort of accommodation, from a large estate like Churchill Gardens to the white stucco villas of Thomas Cubitt.

With our varied social events, our canvassing and our leafleting, we hope to extend our reach to everyone in the ward.
