The Neighborhood:
Desirable residential streets, plenty of open space, a choice of schools and excellent transport links all attract young couples and families to Wandsworth, but until recently the waterside was blighted by its industrial past. Much of this has now been swept away and replaced with attractive apartments and riverside walkways that make the most of its excellent location. These new developments have lured young professionals to the area and in turn there's been a boom in restaurant and bar openings. Weekends are ushered in with a mix of people crowding the pubs like The Ship and The Alma, enjoying the wilds of the common or buzzing around one of the area’s many small shopping hubs. Basic amenities are covered at Southside Shopping Centre, considered the main town centre, although the redevelopment of the Young’s brewery site promises exciting changes.
Eating: Michelin starred Chez Bruce serves modern European cuisine. It’s extremely popular with local residents and has been cited by Harden’s as ‘Londoners’ favourite restaurant’ several years running. For a flavour of Umbria in Italy, head for Il Girasole, or for upmarket Chinese, try The Good Earth. The Chutney is a modern Indian restaurant where the emphasis is on not using artificial colours or flavours.
Drinking: The best-known watering hole is The Ship, which has been serving ales, wine and food since 1786 at its riverside location. It has an extensive outdoor area, with views over the water and private heated booths, as well a barbecue in the summer. Also worth a visit are The Alma, which doubles as a boutique hotel, the family orientated East Hill and The Brewers Inn. The Hope on Wandsworth Common is a local favourite, and serves real ales alongside homemade burgers.
Culture: Book a tour of the National Trust owned 575 Wandsworth Road, a modest 19th-century terraced house made extraordinary by the hand carved fretwork interior and collection of objets d’art.
Events: The Wandsworth Fringe takes place in May and is a celebration of creativity in Wandsworth, encompassing professional and amateur work of all kinds, from opera and dance to theatre, poetry and workshops.
Getting Around:
Rail: Regular trains to Waterloo run from Wandsworth Town railway station and the journey takes 12 minutes. From Wandsworth Common station you can get to Victoria in just over 10 minutes.
Tube: The nearest Tube station is Southfields on the District Line.
Bus: The area is well served for buses, with routes 28 (Kensal Rise), 37 (Peckham), 44 and 170 (Victoria), 87 (Aldwych), 156 (Vauxhall) and 485 (Hammersmith).
Cycle: There are several Boris Bike docking stations in Wandsworth, and the local council offers free monthly rides for beginner or returning cyclists, as well as free safety checks.
Getting away: Gatwick and Heathrow airports are both under an hour away by car.
