IF you expect a place with an enigmatic name like Nine Elms to be graced with some interesting titbit in history, you aren’t wrong.

The area, which straddles between Battersea and Vauxhall in London, takes its name from a row of nine elm trees that lined the main road as far back as 1645, but these trees were probably in existence even further back in the 13th century when the road was a mere trail or footpath linking the York House and Vauxhall.

It houses more retail and housing developments planned with investments of over £15bil being spent on the gentrification of this property. Already parts of Nine Elms can boast of several landmarks, such as the new US embassy, New Covent Garden Market and soon a new riverboat pier is expected to grace its banks come 2021.

It faces Chelsea and Kensington from across the River Thames and is just a short walk from Westmisters. Via the underground, Embassy Gardens is just three to four minutes away from the Victoria and Waterloo stations.
