I do remember it vaguely, I remember the leisure centre and the car boot sale across the road from the main site. I remember the smell of sulphur and the black snot. It really doesn't feel like that long ago! I almost remember the pub at the quadrant! But i can't for the life of me remember what it was called.
Anyway, I'm feeling nostalgic. I'd love to see some pictures if anyone has them!
Just are reminder that Wandsworth Council's new scheme went live on 1 April 2026 so if you have not applied for a licence you are at risk of a fine and Rent Repayment Order. The council is still running the early bird discount at the moment. One of the misunderstandings is that licensing only applies to HMOs.
The selective licensing scheme extends licensing to all private rented accommodation occupied by a single household or two unrelated sharers in three council wards.
The three council wards covered by the new selective licensing designation are:
Remember, that the potential cost can escalate very fast (see article below) so if you are in these wards don't spend time thinking about this. You need a licence and it might cost you thousands if you wait.
