Boundaries
Putney is a constituency nestling around the southern bank of the River Thames opposite Fulham. As well as Putney itself, it also includes the districts of Roehampton, which runs along the edge of Richmond Park, and Southfields, which lies in the Wandle Valley at the bottom of West Hill. It takes in a small part of Wandsworth Town; that part south of Wandsworth High Street and west of Garratt Lane, so the Southside Shopping Centre is in the constituency.
Putney is bordered by the constituencies of:
- Battersea
- Tooting
- Hammersmith and Fulham
- Richmond Park
- Wimbledon
