Sands End denotes an area in the ancient parish of Fulham, formerly in the County of Middlesex. It is the southernmost part to the east of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in London, England. It lies in a deep loop of the Thames river, between the tidal Chelsea Creek and the old Peterborough estate, west of Wandsworth Bridge. Its northern edge may be defined by the New King's Road. Where there were wharves, industrial acres and workers' cottages has given way to intensive re-development since the last quarter of the 20th-century. It contains some three hundred year old cottages, 19th-century genteel streets and now the Chelsea Harbour and Imperial Wharf developments.
