On a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of Central London, this home welcomes families and friends in Wandsworth's Tooting Bec. The transport links here are great, with Tooting Bec and Balham stations within walking distance to make day trips or daily commutes a breeze. The kitchen is well-equipped for family meals, while the garden is fully paved with room to sit out with a cup of tea. If you're looking for some green space for the kids to roam, look no further than Tooting Common and Wandsworth Common. The former is a breezy stroll away, while the latter is easily reached via bus.

About Balham
Balham might not be smack bang in the centre of London but it's got charm aplenty and has recently become something of a south London hotspot. Offering a vibrant nightlife scene with cocktail bars, old-school pubs, and brunch spots (for those partial to a 'bottomless'), Balham is a great place to spend your city nights. Open green spaces make this an incredibly popular area for affluent young families to enjoy...
