This elegant apartment in Clapham has a lovely, private patio garden – it’s the perfect spot to enjoy some alfresco dining or relax on the built-in bench with a glass of wine. Inside, the large living room’s neutral interiors are offset by a dark sapphire blue feature wall, while bay windows with classic shutters let plenty of light in. We love the ambience in the evening when the candles are lit in the fireplace. Fling open the French doors in the kitchen in the morning and have a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar overlooking the garden. If you want even more outdoor space, Clapham Common is a fifteen-minute walk away, while there are an array of bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants right on your doorstep. When you want to explore all that the rest of London has to offer, Clapham South on London Underground's Northern line is just a six-minute stroll away.

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...

Get a dose of outdoors at Battersea Park
Take a stroll down to one of London’s largest (but lesser-known) green spaces. Visit the exotic animals at Battersea Children's Zoo & rent a boat for a paddle around the pretty lake.
Explore the Scenic Beauty of Brockwell Park
This 19th-century park offers stunning flower gardens, historic buildings, playgrounds, and sports facilities. It's perfect for day festivals with its spacious layout and shady areas under trees. A haven for Pokemon Go enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Enjoy British Tradition at The Avalon Pub
With a wonderful and generous garden, The Avalon is the perfect stage for a pint and a British Sunday roast.
Start your day at The Georgian
Nope, this local cafe has nothing to do with the U.S. State of Georgia. It represents in fact a Country at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe famous for their hospitality and warmth.
Grab dinner and a movie at The Exhibit
An all day drinking and eating venue that also doubles up as a boutique cinema. Cinema-only tickets are available but it’s definitely worth splashing out for the Dinner & A Movie deal.
Be bowled over at Balham Bowls Club
The Balham Bowls Club (or BBC to the locals) is a pub set in the former bowling club. Cozy rooms, craft fairs, pub quizzes, it’s a social club and drinkery of the highest order.
Get One Of London's Best Pizzas At Franco Manca
Franco Manca pizza is made from slow rising sourdough for a minimum of 20 hours. Made in a brick oven on-site by one of their artisans from Naples. Soft, digestible with a delightful aroma.
Get your morning coffee at Brickwood
The Aussie coffeehouse franchise is a favourite of SW flat white lovers, but it’s their award winning brunch that steals the show. Try the toasted brioche with caramelised banana and maple bacon.
Indulge at Megan's on the Hill
A friendly and cute restaurant in Balham, perfect for a date or big groups. Try their delicious smoothies, desserts, and homemade crisps. Vegetarian-friendly with great attention to allergies. Excellent customer experience.
Explore Clapham Common
A lovely open green park with a great atmosphere. Perfect for runners, cyclists, and walkers. Enjoy the oldest and largest bandstand in Greater London, 3 ponds, and live music on Sundays.
Try the fantastic dishes at Indian Room
Amazing restaurant with lovely staff, delicious food, and a colourful setting. Try the platter of lamb chops for an out-of-this-world experience.
