Living in Balham

Overview

Despite spending most of its time being overlooked by it’s more well-know neighbours, Balham has become quite the South London hotspot. Loved by it’s locals, with it’s neighbourhood feel and community, and an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes and cocktail bars, there’s plenty to do here.

Take Hildreth Street, an age-old market, that has such variety of brunch spots, cafes and delicious tasting delis, that endless options are never a bad thing (more reason to brunch all weekend). Balham is also surrounded by green space, with Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common being perfect places to relax in, before heading to a cool cocktail bar for a drink or three. And the living? A mixture of Victorian houses and modern apartments, basically catering for everyone, which is exactly what Balham does so well.
