Local guide
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...
