Area Comments

For the professional couple, and for families, Balham is nigh on perfect. Wide, safe streets lead to green spaces like Tooting and Wandsworth Commons, and the beautiful and oft-missed Angus Riley Gardens to the northeast. Mostly composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, but with Edwardian semis also fringing the picturesque Graveny Common, Balham's houses are attractive, well-planned and generous, often with good-sized gardens ideal for children or that Sunday barbecue when the sun's shining through the trees. Prices are best if you don't mind walking a few minutes to the Commons, but even if you have to have a view of the parks, Balham is still remarkably reasonable.

For those preferring a quieter existence than that found in its more fashionable neighbours, Balham offers everything, in particular a very affordable way to step up several rungs on the property ladder without breaking the bank, and whilst still giving plenty of access to central London. The area has remained stable for a long time, partly because those who live here love doing so.

Apart from the extraordinary range of greenery within easy walking distance, the area has a vast array of amenities of all kinds. Its restaurants and cafes are many and varied, so you'll never be stuck for ideas for dinner, lunch or perhaps a quick brunch after a night out at one of the vibrant pubs or clubs. Shopping in Balham is the best of both worlds, with supermarkets and big name brands in easy reach as well as old-fashioned greengrocers, boutiques and quirky stores.

Balham remains one of the best places in London to live a quiet life with an option to be loud for the young professional - and one of the best environments for a family.

Southfields: An up and coming area for professionals and young families alike

Balham

Balham

Balham is an area of south London which may well be said to fit better than some into the notion of the metropolis really being a collection of villages. That idea may be hard to sustain amid the skyscrapers of the city or Canary Wharf, or the endless Portland Stone white mews of the west end. But Balham may just have a hint of this vibe.
