The Lanes

Masterplan and Residential Structure

The Lanes is a new residential development on Lapidge Drive, London SW17 0YH, part of the wider Springfield Village masterplan in Tooting. Developed by Barratt London, the scheme includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments plus a selection of three-bedroom houses. Projected completion in the second quarter of 2027. The third zone is where the development takes shape, organized around a 32-acre park environment that provides a structured balance between landscaped open space and urban infrastructure.

Houses vary from 41 sqm to 75 sqm, and cost from £450,000 for the one-bedroom apartments, £590,000 for two-bedroom buildings, and £716,000 for three-bedroom properties. The price per square metre is also competitive for Tooting and Earlsfield. Each property is conceived as part of a contemporary architectural scheme settled into a larger work concerned with pedestrian pathways, landscaped courtyards, and an internal public piazza that is meant for community events and outdoor dining.

Connectivity, Amenities, and Local Environment

The Lanes is close to Tooting Bec Underground Station, an 11-minute walk away, which gives access to the Northern Line into central London. Earlsfield Station is 1.8 kilometres away, and Wandsworth Common Station is within reasonable range. The local map shows the availability of schools, cafés, bus routes, and green spaces like Garratt Park and Springfield Park. By connecting rail routes, London Bridge is about 19 minutes away.

Part of the broader Springfield Village masterplan, there’s even an on-site supermarket, gym, and café, encouraging day-to-day convenience within walking distance. Landscaped spaces and communal areas for gatherings are woven into the site to encourage outdoor activity. The composition of the development is focused on green views and circulation for pedestrians, which reinforces its residential identity.

Market Position and Long-Term Appeal

The Lanes epitomises the gradual, garden village style of urban development characteristic of South West London with its parkland setting and established transport links. Professional forecasts tend to refer to market indicators that imply a rental return of 2.5% – 4.5% per annum and forecasted capital growth of between 5% and 10% p.a. / m2, but vary depending on the case in question. The property might appeal to a buyer looking to purchase within a masterplanned environment that features clear infrastructure and staged delivery.

Homes are saleable with accompanying documents such as floor plans and a site map. The development takes place in a supply-constrained micro-location between Tooting and Earlsfield, where demand is underpinned by transport connectivity, educational opportunities, and access to open space. THE development sits balanced on a series of long-term residential benefits in an emerging zone 3 district.
