Residents at the 1840 celebrated summer at community garden social event

The event, which took place in The 1840’s landscaped gardens, saw the local community meet up with their neighbours, and learn about the history and culture behind the historic The 1840 development. Also in attendance were representatives from City & Country and electric bike provider Forest (with whom City & Country recently embarked on a landmark sustainable travel partnership at The 1840).

Visitors were invited to enjoy an afternoon of local food alongside attending private design-led tours of the new show home with City & Country’s specialist interiors team. The event also proved an opportunity to learn about City & Country’s sustainable travel programme in partnership with Forest, which offers 12 months’ worth of free travel credits for new homeowners, alongside the housebuilder’s Recommend a Friend initiative.

Shelley West, Group Sales & Marketing Director for City & Country, said: “Placemaking is at the heart of what we do as a responsible developer. We take our responsibility to create exceptional places to live in very seriously, and we understand the importance of fostering connections with our neighbours and giving back to local communities wherever possible. Welcoming residents, neighbours and our partners to The 1840 provided an opportunity for us to continue to strengthen our important community links, and celebrate the architectural heritage and prestige of The 1840.”

Originally a grand Victorian hospital, The 1840 has been transformed by City & Country into a collection of beautifully restored one, two and three-bedroom apartments, surrounded by eight acres of green space and characterful heritage features. Located in the heart of Wandsworth, it offers the rare blend of period architecture and contemporary luxury, right on the edge of a brand-new 32-acre park.
