Transport
There are so many tenaosott links Southfields station - district Bus stops to Clapham junction station, Vauxhall, Putney Bridge, Wimbledon, Tooting, Roehampton and many more popular places.
Community
There is a lot of traffic in Southfields since it is considered to be part of Central London i.e. Wandsworth especially during 8-9am on roads and buses. With trains there is rush hour but luckily there are multiple trains which come an go
Amenities
Southfields is a great area to live where there is access to a train station (district line). Most importantly, there is a whole range of shopping centres within Southfields I.e Southside, Putney High street and many more. Southfields is also close by to The Wimbledon Tennis court which is a thumbs up if you love tennis. Further there are multiple small shops such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s etc nearby Southfields train station. If you have children, there are so many outstanding schools nearby such as St Michaels (primary school) and Ashcroft Acadmey which is ranked first in the UK as a state school to do well in exams.
Town feel in a big city
I like that Wandsworth seems like a town within the big city. It feels like home to me after moving down from a village. The sense of community good within the block I live in however I don’t really feel it with the wider community. Possibly because of how much people move around. I’ve always felt that Wandsworth is safe although some more street lights are needed in king George’s park. Overall I love living in Wandsworth!
Transport
The train service from Wandsworth town is relatively good, usually on time and approx one every 10 mins. I think Wandsworth would benefit from a tube station linking it to parts of central London other than Waterloo. Southfields or East Putney are the closest and they’re at least 20 mins away. There’s night busses direct from central to Wandsworth although they could do with being slightly more regular. Other than the lack of a tube the travel in and around Wandsworth is great by public transport. The roads are usually really busy especially around rush hour.
Community
I live in hardwicks square and it is usually pretty quiet. Occasionally at the weekends there is shouting at night in the square. Only a couple of times in the last year has this lasted for many hours. I think our block is mostly renters, usually young professionals. Parking is not good in Wandsworth. It is all either private residential or extremely expensive. It would be pointless having a car in Wandsworth unless you had a designated parking space.
Amenities
In the Southside area most of the shops and restaurants are chain. However, head down to the Wandsworth town train station area and a plethora of bistros and independent restaurants make for a wonderful evening. Wandsworth is packed with things to do like tennis, archery, shopping and restaurants. There’s also a relatively new food market outside Southside now which includes hot meals, jams and fruit and veg.
Amazing community but there is not much around the area
There are a few takeaways that are worth visiting. Although, there are not many restaurants from a wide range that can be selected from.
Transport
There is a bus stop nearby the area. However, there is no Underground Station around the area which could be an issue for those who need to get into Central London.
Community
You can make friends with a lot of the locals as the majority are parents that live around the area who are welcoming. I find that the community within the area is nice as everyone always helps each other out when in need.
Amenities
For parents with kids, this area would be pretty good in my opinion as there is a Primary School and Nursery nearby. However, one massive downfall I think is that there are no supermarkets around the area locally.
There is a great community here
