Living in South London

Based on 123 reviews

South London has established itself as a true hub of London community spirit. Here at Marsh & Parsons, our local knowhow of these communities and businesses gives us the expertise we need to provide accurate and honest property advice – whether you're buying or selling your next home. Meet the local businesses, and find out why we think South London has so much to offer.

Meet local businesses

South London’s small businesses cater to far more than cafe culture and chain store brands. Wellness practitioners open their doors to families and fitness fans, holistic services are a welcome sight for busy parents, and sweet treats aren’t in short supply with an artisan ice cream shop. We reached out to South London’s small business owners to discuss what matters to them.

What matters in South London

We immersed ourselves in the tranquil surroundings of the Bellissima Clinic to find out what makes Balham a great place to live. We also met with the owners of Instant Physio in Tooting, who shared the history of their business and why they love the community they’re a part of.

Join us to learn more about them and other South London small businesses.

South London areas

Allow Marsh & Parsons to introduce you to South London with our area guides. From architectural history to must-see boutiques, our experts share what it’s like to live in some of the most sought-after South London areas.

Battersea
Balham
Brixton
Clapham
Streatham Hill
Tooting
Kennington

Battersea

Battersea has evolved in recent decades to flourish as one of the best places to live in South London. Friendly and welcoming, it's home to a number of iconic London institutions, but it’s possibly the smaller, niche businesses that are making an impression.

Battersea’s waterside homes are becoming the area’s sought-after buys. Those with a keen eye for financials are attracted by the low council taxes, though the promise of afternoons spent browsing new boutiques, delis and artisans is just as attractive.

Balham

Growing increasingly popular, the amenities in Balham have dramatically improved in recent years. Cutting-edge clubs that once spawned legendary comics are still attracting buzzing crowds looking to enjoy Balham’s nightlife scene. Quieter pursuits can be found on the commons, with cricket, football and cycling proving popular.

Homes here are diverse in style and stature. Smart studio flats provide a base for young professionals, while larger properties make ideal family homes.

Read our Balham area guide

Brixton

Historic Brixton holds the enviable position of being one of London’s most unique districts. The world-famous Brixton Village is home to some of the city’s best eateries whilst at Clink restaurant you can eat an award-winning meal cooked by inmates of Brixton Prison. The area is also home to long-standing cultural venues such as the Ritzy Picturehouse and Electric Brixton.

Architecturally, the area’s industrial heritage adds another unique dimension to property in Brixton’s streets.

Read our Brixton area guide

Clapham

Look beyond Clapham’s excellent transport links, thriving bars and much-lauded schools and you’ll find the area’s still brimming with amenities.

Savvy buyers look to Clapham North for cheaper properties, though the price gap is diminishing. Clapham Common sets the scene for quintessential British summers. Idle Sundays spent having picnics are equally as enjoyable as the calendar of festivals and gigs.

Read our Clapham area guide

Streatham Hill

With excellent connections into central London from a choice of three train stations, combined with a plethora of characterful properties, Streatham Hill is a dream location for homebuyers with a penchant for period features.

A proud home to independent businesses and high street favourites, Streatham Hill is vibrant, lively and is especially favoured for the varied cuisines on offer, making it a wonderful part of London to discover from your doorstep.

Read our Streatham Hill area guide

Tooting

Full of excellent restaurants and bars, you need not travel far to find a delicious meal in Tooting. Diverse cuisine caters to all palates, with Tooting Common providing ample space to burn off the indulgent calories.

First-time buyers will be drawn to the well-thought-out Victorian conversions in the area, though most will be eyeing Tooting’s traditional double-fronted Victorian houses.

Read our Tooting area guide

Kennington

Prices in Kennington are yet to catch up with its central location and first-class transport links. With imposing Georgian and Victorian properties on pretty garden squares, the green spaces of Kennington Park and an exciting array of food and drink on offer, it’s no wonder that the area’s popularity is increasing fast. Keep an eye out and you may even spot a politician or two- after all, it is just the other side of the river from Westminster.
