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.
SW18 - the place to be in London!
I like that there are numerous shops located nearby from fashion stores to electronics and anything else you may need. There is a large Sainsburys too for your daily needs. The atmosphere in my area is very relaxed and the locals are always friendly. The area is suitable and safe for children as they will find many activities in close proximity such as parks, leisure centers, and hangout spots.
Transport
SW18 is no different from other areas in London in terms of the multitude of public transport options. There are lots of bus stops located in the area and Wandsworth Town station is a short walk for those wishing to travel by train. Although there may be some traffic outside Southside shopping center, buses still arrive regularly and are a reliable mode of transport.
Community
Knoll Road is a lovely street to live on. There is parking available on both sides of the road however this also makes the street a little narrow and sometimes difficult for larger vehicles to pass through. Nevertheless, there is no anti-social behavior on the road and almost no traffic noise. Most homes are occupied by families who are owners and some renters. Bin collections happen on a regular basis once a week and overall it's a very pleasant experience living in SW18.
Amenities
I am fortunate to live in an area that is very close to a large shopping mall (Southside Shopping Center) and we have many restaurants and bars to pick from. Just opposite the shopping center is an open space park where many people regularly go for a run or to walk their dogs. You will just about find anything in close proximity such as gyms, restaurants, cinemas and plenty of shops.
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
