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!

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!

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.
Most people take great care of their front gardens and most of the houses are very pretty and well looked after.
Most people take great care of their front gardens and most of the houses are very pretty and well looked after. There are gardening awards that are run locally and people take pride in their front gardens and put up posters about littering. Area is suitable for pets and children - there is a vet on the high street and many gps around. The area is super safe and has a low crime rate. I always feel safe when out and about on my own. The best part about living here is the open spaces, restaurants, shops and general facilities.
Transport
Cannot comment on traffic as have only lived here during Covid but it has never been an issue. Travel links are great with overground from earlsfield to Waterloo or our into Surrey. Also the tube on Southfields high street is the district line which takes you to London and out to Wimbledon. They often run works on both lines but usually one is running. There are also great bus links and it is easy to get to nice places on foot that are nearby. The trains are as clean as most of the trains in the country....

Parking can be tricky and you cannot always park near your house. You also have to get a permit from the council which is around £200 for a year and wasn’t easy to obtain. Bins are collected every Thursday - no complaints other than it can be hard to get the council to send out recycling bags when you need them and again have to go on the website to apply for them or pick them up from the office. It is super quiet where we live not much traffic and mainly families and professional couples leave nearby. There is a good mix of renters and owners.

I love living in Southfields as it has so much nearby. You have Earlsfield station which takes you into Waterloo and has tons of great pubs, restaurants and food shops outside the station. We are a short walk from Wimbledon tennis courts and Wimbledon Park which has a boating lake and golf club. There is also Wimbledon village which is a 30 min walk away where there are great restaurants like the Ivy and Giggling Squid. Also some great charity shops. In Southfields itself you have the district line which takes you into central and into Wimbledon. Also Southfields high street has a gym, m&s food, gails bakery, french patisserie and Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s local and a post office! The area is also super pretty and people adopt the soil around where the trees are planted along the pavement and put in flowers and ornaments. I feel super safe walking around Southfields and happily go to the gym at whatever time I like morning or evening. There are lots of open spaces as there is Wandsworth and wimbledon common fairly nearby. There is also Southfields shopping centre which has lots of great shops: Waterstones, hotel chocolat, new look, boots, Superdrug. It also has fast food restaurants and a cinema. Parking is a bit of a pain as you have to get a permit from the council which is tricky and costs around £200 a year. Close access to the A3 and M4 which is great for getaways plus easy to get into central London. I love living here!!
Living in Wandsworth
The high street is amazing, there are a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. However the block where I live, the entrance is very dirty, lifts smell of urine. Incidents of arson, luckily picked up very quickly. Just waiting to move out ASAP
There is a great community here
