Wandsworth, Battersea, and Clapham were all areas that saw significant growth during the late 19th century. Wandsworth was home to a variety of middle-class professionals, while Battersea and Clapham were home to a mix of working-class and middle-class residents.

Historical places of interest in the area included the Price's Patent Candle Company, which was one of the largest factories in London at the time, and the Wandsworth & Clapham Union Workhouse, which housed the area's poorest residents.

Eel Brook Common was a popular outdoor space for the local community, while Battersea Reach provided access to the River Thames. Clapham Junction, one of the busiest railway stations in the country, was a major transport hub connecting the area to the rest of London.

Lavender Hill was a bustling shopping district, and St. Johns Hill was lined with shops and restaurants. Battersea Rise was home to a number of middle-class residents and was known for its beautiful Victorian homes. The Freemasons Girls School provided education for local girls.
