Londoner #389 | Inside London’s Regeneration: A Local’s Perspective on Wandsworth

Stephen recalls a time when the area was largely made up of vacant lots, warehouses, and the disused Battersea Power Station. Now, he’s working just minutes from his old street, managing one of the new developments that’s bringing new businesses and residents into the neighbourhood.

The film takes viewers through key local landmarks and offers a firsthand perspective on how Wandsworth has evolved. From the Royal Mail depot where Stephen once worked as a seasonal employee to the major changes in the skyline around Vauxhall, this documentary captures both past and present.

Shot entirely in London, the film highlights the value of local knowledge and the importance of building strong community connections in regeneration projects. Stephen’s insights offer a grounded look at how familiar places can take on new significance over time.
