Getting around

  • District line at East Putney, South Western Railway from Putney and Wandsworth Town, plus buses 37, 39, 170, 220, and 270.

The honest take

Why people move here

The commons and the river towpath give this stretch more usable green and open space per resident than almost anywhere else on this list.

What catches people out

It's a large, sprawling area under one label — "Putney" and "Wandsworth" cover genuinely different feels, so the postcode alone won't tell you what you're getting.

Where it sits on price

Broadly comparable to Clapham, with more range — riverside new-build at a premium, common-side terraces closer to Clapham's own level.
