Flats to rent in Wandsworth to be near new restaurant
Those looking for property to rent in the London borough of Wandsworth will soon be able to enjoy eating out at a new restaurant after the council gave the green light to plans to create the establishment.
A derelict building on Putney High Street near the famous Putney Bridge will become an eatery, which will fill in the vault spaces below ground and have an entrance opening out onto Putney Green.
Planning applications chairman Nick Cuff said the building has been an "eyesore" and noted many people are unaware of the vaults.
"Converting them into a restaurant space is an exciting prospect and would give people the chance to experience these unusual subterranean spaces," he stated.
Other recent planning approvals that may make Wandsworth more fun to live in include a planned redevelopment of Battersea Power Station, which was given the go-ahead by London mayor Boris Johnson last month.
The council noted this could create new jobs and homes, as well as being linked to a new Northern Line extension on the Tube.
