Wandsworth is one of the top ten boroughs in London for complaints about partying neighbours.
The borough received the ninth highest number of complaints, according to research by Sellhousefast.co.uk, which requested the information from every London council under Freedom of Information laws.
It has seen a total of 1,921 complaints over the last year since 2016, with an average of five per day.
It has been revealed that a total of 142,634 noise complaints have been recorded in the last year, with 37 percent (or 52,398) of them being specifically about partying.
That is an average of 144 for per day.
Newham tops the charts with 5,935, averaging a staggering 16 complaints per day, while the City of London has the least with 128.
The other four boroughs in the top ten are Haringey, Kensington and Chelsea, Islington, Hammersmith and Fulham, Enfield, Hillingdon, Tower Hamlets and Barking and Dagenham.
Hammersmith and Fulham resident Eugenie Chua, 35, said: “I live in a Victorian conversion maisonette, we have the upstairs unit. The walls are quite thin and you can clearly hear the music and even make out some of their conversation.
“It is fine most of the time, but having loud music until almost 2am is a bit much. It hasn't happened frequently enough to escalate the matter to the police or our local council, it’s mostly just an annoyance.
“I haven't thought of moving, but did entertain the idea of putting a passive aggressive note on their door.”
