The middle half of our sintered stone range runs from £250 to £300 per square metre, across 71 colours, 63 of them Dekton. In Wandsworth, 24.5% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, among the highest in London. In a large room the question is how many slabs the cut list needs, because an island that spills onto a second slab moves the price more than any extra metre of run.

Nine Elms has the highest share of post-2010 housing of the 21 Wandsworth neighbourhoods we list, at 85%, ahead of Between the Commons (23%) and Wandsworth Town (21%); Furzedown has the lowest, at 1%.

Nine Elms has the highest flat share of the 21 Wandsworth neighbourhoods we list, at 100%, ahead of Battersea Park (89%) and Battersea (89%); Southfields has the lowest, at 46%. Where the kitchen is upstairs, the thinner Dekton formats weigh less on the stairs and turn more easily on a landing.
