Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Place yourselves south of the river at this smart London home, just a stone's throw from the underground and with charming Battersea a short jaunt away. Tailor-made for a multi-generational family stay, there's heaps of space to spill out into this three-storey home. If we were being picky, some of the home's interiors could be more united in places, and the hot-pink children's bedroom will only suit some. But for a home and garden of this size in such an unbeatable location – we can forgive that.

Home truths
One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay on request. It’s worth noting one loveable dog usually lives at this home. He won't be around during your stay, but this means it may not be suitable for people with severe allergies.
Please note, alongside the four double bedrooms sleeping eight guests in total, there is a fifth bedroom with a sofa bed that doubles as a study. This space could sleep an additional two guests, but we think it’s only suitable for children or shorter stays.
A portable air conditioning unit is available in the fourth bedroom, while all the other bedrooms are equipped with fans.
You’ll be required to sign a digital rental agreement from the host prior to your stay for security and insurance purposes. Your host will send this to you after your booking is confirmed
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old to rent this home.

Local guide
About Wandsworth
Wandsworth attracts young families and professionals with its residential streets and open spaces. The Common is a standout attraction here where you'll feel a world away from the busyness of London life. The area is also pretty well-connected with a number of rail stations that will get you into Waterloo and Victoria in around 15 minutes. If you want a bit of piece and quiet while also remaining in touching distance of Central London, Wandsworth could serve you well for your stay.
