Balham would be perfect but for the house prices
It’s great for children, excellent park and good childcare.
Transport
Excellent: British rail to victoria and to Clapham junction, northern line, cycle vias, Parking requires residents permits.

I live in Bedford hill, which is a main road. We have triple glazing so noise is not a problem. Garbage collection, including recycling is ok. The neighbourhood used to be more diverse, with artists and non white British people, with a strong Ghanaian component, still present in food shops and a clothes shop. Recent gentrification led to a large component of long haired slim blond yummy mummies.
Amenities
Excellent supermarkets, delicatessen, varied restaurants, cafés, farmEr markets, Second hand charities shops, boutiques, good primary schools, bakeries. Immense choice of branch places. Lacks: bookshops.
It's brilliant for children and if you have pets,because of the many parks
Transport
the transport is very good. There are many buses 280,407,213,154. The Sutton Station is big Station and traffic is ok.

There are many parks. Manor park is very good park . The schools in my area are very good. It's brilliant for children and if you have pets,because of the many parks. I strongly recommend this area.
Amenities
There are many shops close to my house. There are Sainsbury, Asda, Tkmax Boots, superdrug, debenhams, poundland. Many coffees, like Nero, Costa .
Best area in SW London!
Just that I should have moved here sooner. Definitely suitable for children and pets, park is just around the corner and lots of servoces available.
Transport
Tube, rail, night and day buses to central London. No bike sharing but that's pretty much all that's missing!
Community
Quiet area, safe at night, no traffic, but not much nightlife and mostly for families so not many bars and pubs
Amenities
Plenty of shops, little independent cafes and restaurants. 24h supermarket, transport super close night and day
The selection of shops is endless, from brand supermarkets to local market stalls, Balham has everything to offer
