This shows the Wandle Bank entrance to the garage. Given the number of cars usually parked outside it, this entrance is unlikely be in regular use.

Wandle Park was once the site of Wandlebank House and grounds. The land was purchased by Wimbledon Corporation for a public park and vested in the National Trust, and the park opened in 1907. In 1910 the Mill Pond Garden was added, purchased by public subscription. In 2003 the park was redesigned to create more interest, the main feature being the reopening of the old sinuous course of the River Wandle through the park and the creation of a reed bed. The more recent straightened course of the Wandle alongside Wandle Bank still takes much of the flow but the flow in the old course is also substantial. A view of the redesigned river can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2894734
