The postcode SW16 6SE is in the LSOA area called 'Wandsworth 037A', in the Furzedown ward.

The geographical demographic data for SW16 6SE has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
