Wandsworth Park is one of two Grade II listed parks in the London Borough of Wandsworth, the other being Battersea Park. The area was formerly in use as allotment gardens until its purchase by the local council in 1898. The park was opened in 1903 and has changed little since. This carriage drive runs parallel to the River Thames, which is over to the left, along the northern side of the park. A combination of dense fresh leaves on the trees and overcast weather made this area particularly gloomy to photograph on the day.
