This is now a well established residential area, full of refugees who have moved south of the river escaping rising prices in Fulham. It has good schooling with plenty of green space with quick and easy access to the city and a good supply of well maintained family houses.

The main focus of family life is around Wandsworth Common with large detached and semi-detached houses ranging in price from £750,000 to £2.5 million. Particularly popular roads are Westover Road and the roads leading off it. On the other side of Wandsworth Common is the Bellevue Road with its restaurants, galleries and boutiques making a rather attractive natural border with nearby Balham. In the middle of the common is a grid of roads, known as the toastrack with houses backing on to the common fetching upwards of £2 million. Spencer Park on the north side of the common is of particular interest with large detached houses backing on to a seven acre private park.

Whilst there is a good choice of pubs and restaurants in the area, the only real shopping is along the Bellevue Road, otherwise expect a trip across Wandsworth Bridge and into Chelsea. Public transport is limited, however, mainline stations are at Wandsworth Town and Wandsworth Common both going into Waterloo
