Floor-to-ceiling doors open onto a private balcony at this Balham apartment – a sweet place to unwind with a drink as the city hums below. Inside, the light-filled living space has a comfortable, modern feel, with an open-plan layout that works equally well for cooking, chilling out, or catching up on emails. Balham Underground is less than a ten-minute walk away, putting the whole of central London within easy reach via the Northern Line, while Tooting Bec Lido, Clapham Common, and a stretch of independent cafes and restaurants on the doorstep give the neighbourhood real character.

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...
