Location

Nine Elms is located within the London Borough of Wandsworth, strategically positioned between Vauxhall and Battersea on the south bank of the River Thames.

The area boasts excellent connectivity, making it one of London’s most accessible and desirable districts. The area’s transport links are designed to offer residents and businesses seamless access to central London and beyond, ensuring ease of travel for work, leisure, and daily commutes.
One of the most significant enhancements to Nine Elms’ transport infrastructure is the Northern Line extension. This extension introduces two new stations:

  • Nine Elms Station: the new Nine Elms branch of the Northern Line opened in 2021 and is the first extension to London’s Tube map since the 1990s, giving Nine Elms official Zone 1 status and cutting travel times to the West End and City to as little as 15 minutes.

    In addition, a short 10-minute walk from Embassy Gardens is Vauxhall Station – a National Rail, London Underground and London Bus interchange station (Zone 1 & 2). This major interchange connects Nine Elms to destinations such as Clapham Junction, Richmond, and Windsor, as well as direct services to London Waterloo, one of the city’s primary rail hubs.

Battersea Power Station Pier is located on the south bank of the River Thames next to the famous London landmark, offering river bus services for a wide range of routes to key destinations including the London Eye, Blackfriars, London Bridge and Canary Wharf.
The area benefits from excellent road connectivity, with easy access to major routes such as the A3 (providing direct access to Central London and the South West), the A202 (connecting Nine Elms to areas such as Camberwell and New Cross) and Vauxhall Bridge (offering a direct route into Central London across the River Thames).

For international travel, residents are well connected to London’s major airports. London City Airport is approximately 16 km (10 miles) to the east. Heathrow Airport is approximately 26 km (16 miles) to the west and easily accessible via the Piccadilly Line form Vauxhall station.
One of London’s most ambitious regeneration projects, Nine Elms is rapidly transforming into a vibrant riverside district and emerging as a premier destination for luxury living, offering a unique blend of contemporary urban lifestyle and rich historical significance.
Nine Elms offers an array of social spaces, parks, and cultural venues designed to foster a vibrant community spirit. The new mile-long Linear Park, stretching from Vauxhall to Battersea Power Station, provides a green corridor filled with art installations, play areas, and tranquil spots for relaxation.

Residents of Nine Elms enjoy access to a plethora of cultural and recreational amenities. The area is home to the iconic Battersea Power Station, now a hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Art galleries, theatres, and music venues further enrich the cultural landscape. With the Thames Path on its doorstep, Nine Elms offers scenic walks, cycling routes, and water-based activities, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
