Earlsfield, a gem in South West London!

Earlsfield has changed a bit in the last few years, with more boutique shops and cafes. Great for children and lots of places to take your pets for a walk in green spaces.

Transport

We have regular trains that travel directly to Waterloo in 12 minutes (3 stops) which means a quick connection to the underground! We are also very close to Southfields where the District line stops!

Community

Parking availability is limited although available. Although we have lovely bars in the area it is still very family oriented as well. I very rarely come across any anti-social behavior! As long as I have lived in the area, as long as you are just off Garratt Lane, it is very peaceful in terms of traffic noise and my street specifically are younger families or professionals. Bin collections happen for us every Thursday and we haven't been let down!

Amenities

I have lived in the area for 7 years and find it to have everything I would look for in an area. Firstly, we have direct and regular trains to Waterloo which is only 3 stops (12 minutes) aways where you are able to connect to the underground! I live within a 10 minute walk of two large parks, including Wimbledon Park which is lovely (it has a lake and many tennis courts should you be interested). The cafes, bars (which include family friendly outside gardens) and restaurants are great with new ones regularly popping up. There are plenty of gyms to choose from, with two Nuffield gyms, a cross fit gym and many other independent gyms (both low cost and slightly more exclusive) within the area. The parks also have bootcamps which is a great way to meet new people. There is a good sized shopping centre, Southside Mall (with brands such as H&M, Next, TK Maxx, River Island, New Look etc), which is right next to the Ram Quarter with lovely pop up food stalls on the weekend (and more cafes and restaurants). Earlsfield has a mix of smaller grocery stores and larger ones such as Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Lidl.

Something for everyone

The local area has a real sense of community with something for everyone- young people, families and older residents. We are friendly and open to all. The area has not lost its original charm but has been regenerated and is much safer and cleaner than before.

Transport

Extremely well connected with the SWR station Earlsfield (3 minutes from Clapham Junction, 11 minutes from Waterloo), the district line at Southfields and the Northern line at Tooting all within a short distance. There are also buses direct to Putney, Victoria and Waterloo for cheaper travel 24 hours a day. There are Santander bikes to rent outside Southside shopping centre. The main junctions at Garratt Lane and Magdalen Road and Penwith Road and Earlsfield road can become busy at rush hour.

Community

There is a variety of people living on our street. Young family homeowners, older residents who have been in the area for many years, and young renters. It is family friendly. Being close to the main street and station the area can be busy with deliveries, workers and people passing throughout the day, all week, but it is very peaceful at night. There are resident parking restrictions 9-4 on weekdays with lots of spaces and the option to pay as you park. There is free parking at weekends. Bins are collected weekly although we sometimes have passers by flytipping near the station.

Amenities

Earlsfield has an assortment of independent cafés, bars, restaurants, beauty salons and shops. There are two good supermarkets plus an independent deli and butcher's - Dugard and Daughters - which stocks an impressive range of high welfare produce. Earlsfield residents can take advantage of being located in the middle of Garratt Lane, with plenty more retailers, pubs and restaurants to choose from. Highlights are the Earlsfield, with its range of world beers and wines and excellent pub grub, Amrutha all-you-can-eat vegan, Bean & Hop brunch and coffee, Marina fish bar and Blume florists. Located at each end of Garratt Lane are Wandsworth and Tooting, with more shopping options at Southside (including Waitrose, Planet Organic and the Sainsbury's superstore) and the excellent Tooting and Broadway markets for independent shops, bars and restaurants. King George's park along the Wandle river is an excellent outdoor space with tennis courts, a lake, children's play areas and skate park. It is also a short walk from the beautiful Wandsworth common.

Love the location and great value for money if buying new property!

Love the location and great value for money if buying new property! Could do with some more bars, better gym and gym class offerings.. Missing a bit of council investment!

Transport

In general good, lacking a direct tube line to central london but the District line isn't too far away but slow and long journey into town via that route. Overground into central is best option, only 30 mins to central London and the city. Nature of being on outskirts of London, everyone has cars. Traffic can be pretty busy during rush hours but if you're heading out of town, good routes to the A3!!

Community

Good - Great community feel - Cheap property prices - Welcoming neighbours - Close to local amenities and local park Bad - Traffic, a lot of traffic due to the cut throughs in Ealrsfield to miss the lights - Parking times aren't great for visitors - Streets aren't cleaned that regularly to be honest

Amenities

great selection of bars and restaurants! The Wandle, The Earlsfield, Halfway House, Leatherbottle to name a few. Would recommend swinging by the area for a beer and dinner but not a full night out, except for a Friday night in The Wandle pre covid-19. Good selection of parks and commons near by, plenty of options for dog walking. Range a supermarkets, could be better but with Southside 15 min walk away, plenty of options in the region.
