Around The Block

Wandsworth is a leafy southwest London borough with stunning river vistas. It sits next to Fulham but offers much more affordable new homes and rental properties than its luxury neighbour.

Read on to discover the main features of Wandsworth, its thriving residential scene, and several of the most popular destinations in the borough.

Wandsworth's Selling Points

Residents in the area regularly vote Wandsworth as the best place to live in the capital, which is hardly surprising. Riverside apartments, easy commutes, affordable housing, and regenerated neighbourhoods attract young professionals, families, and international buyers to live and work in Wandsworth.

The drinking and foodie scene is likewise on point, thanks to multiple pubs, cafés, and top-rated restaurants. A local star is Chez Bruce, a Michelin-star restaurant known for French wines and cuisine.

Wandsworth Common

The greenery in Wandsworth is another selling point of the area, attracting families and sports fans. The area is a calm and peaceful borough, a perfect antidote to buzzing city life.

Wandsworth Common is a true gem in the crown of Wandsworth, a 175-acre green space for picnics, runs, and cycling tours. King George’s Park offers more of the same, plus sports pitches and a tennis club.

Housing Market In Wandsworth

Traditionally, property values in Wandsworth stayed below London averages. However, present-day prices are often above the typical values in the capital. The reason is that a perfect mix of efficient location, vast green spaces, and attractive property prices attract a lot of attention and push demand and average values.

New build homes and developments in Wandsworth

In addition, green spaces, spacious houses, and a selection of top-rated schools attract an influx of young families to Wandsworth. So much so, people started to call the area «Nappy Valley»‎. A mixture of ages, welcoming communities, and major regenerations make Wandsworth a harmonious space for living and working in London.

Wandsworth's Top Destinations

Southside Shopping Centre is a must-see destination in Wandsworth, home to a range of high-end stores and restaurants, as well as a cinema and a bowling alley. Whether you are in the mood for retail therapy or a fun night out, the Southside Shopping Centre has a lot to offer.

History and culture fans should not miss the Wandsworth Museum, built to preserve the rich local heritage. The museum boasts an impressive collection of artefacts and exhibits that offer a fascinating glimpse into Wandsworth's past, from its industrial roots to its modern-day cultural scene.
