Map & location
Overview
SW18 4SQ sits in Southfields, a leafy residential district within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The area is characterised by attractive Edwardian and Victorian terraced housing on tree-lined streets, and has long been popular with families and young professionals drawn by its village-like atmosphere, good schools and proximity to open green spaces including Wimbledon Park and Wandsworth Common.
