The Wandsworth Business Legacy Scheme celebrates the businesses that have helped shape the borough the years.

We are inviting residents, customers and members of the local community to nominate businesses that have been trading Wandsworth for 25 years or more. This could be a much-loved shop, restaurant, market trader, professional service or creative maker that has made a lasting contribution to its neighbourhood.
