St John's Wood (towards the south of the ward) is a highly
desirable district and home to some of the most expensive
properties in the world. It was one of the first London
suburbs to be developed with a large amount of low density
"villa" housing, as opposed to the terraced housing which was
the norm in London up to the 19th century. It is famous for
the Abbey Road studios.
Based on the latest population figures the ward has 12,147
residents making up 5.5% of the total Westminster
population.
