London riverside living in Wandsworth

Wandsworth Town is the actual meeting point of the River Wandle with the Thames. Just over four miles from central London, this Zone 2 area has captured the attention of young professionals and families looking to set base in an area well-connected to London’s business districts yet abundant in greenery with excellent growth potential.

A prosperous green neighbourhood

Surrounded by attractive and affluent neighbourhoods such as Belham and Tooting in the South, Clapham and Battersea to the East and Putney to the West, Wandsworth holds its ground as a scenic riverside town, offering more than 1,700 acres of open green spaces. These include the 171-acre Wandsworth Common, Grade II-listed Wandsworth Park and the century-old King George’s Park, among many more. Wandsworth Borough, ranked one of the greenest in London, has been chosen as the London Borough of Culture 2025.

Central London in less than 15 minutes

One of the primary reasons for the growth in Wandsworth’s property prices is its convenient transport links that make commuting across the UK capital and beyond easy. Wandsworth Town Station is just one stop from Clapham Junction and 13 minutes from Waterloo on the South Western Railway line. Richmond, Kingston and Weybridge are other popular towns served by the same line.

The Overground South London line from Wandsworth Road Station connects to Victoria and London Bridge, while river access facilitates water taxi services from the Riverside Quarter Pier to Blackfriars and Canary Wharf.

Living it up to the fullest

For a town that appeared on the map for its brewing industry, Wandsworth has plenty to offer in the food and beverage segment. With a selection of fine pubs and Michelin-star restaurants, there’s no shortage of dining options.. When it comes to serving the shopping needs of residents, Southside Centre ranks as one of London’s largest indoor malls, providing everything from supermarkets to fashion labels, movie cinemas, fitness centres and fast-food joints. For e-gaming along with immersive AR and VR excitement, Gravity Max at Southside is London’s first 100,000 square feet active entertainment venue.

Robust demand for property in Wandsworth

While Wandsworth was London’s busiest Borough for home sales last year, accounting for 6% of the close to 50,000 homes sold in the capital, there are many reasons why homebuyers and investors are flocking to the SW18 postcode. From having the lowest council tax rates to one of London’s most diverse and appealing property markets, buyers can choose from a mix of detached Victorian homes to stylish new-built apartments. The above-average rental yields, which can go upwards of 6% for new-build apartments, is another reason many buy-to-let (BTL) property investors are drawn here.

Well regarded schools

For families with children, living and renting in Wandsworth has many advantages as the area is also home to some of London’s best community and independent schools. With 90% of the schools rated either ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, parents don’t need to look far for quality education. While Brandlehow and Sheringdale are among the top primary schools, Ashcroft Technology and Harris Academy are some of the well-regarded secondary schools in and around the area.

Among leading healthcare facilities, St George’s Hospital in nearby Tooting Bec is the UK’s third-largest by number of beds.
