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

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
