What locals say about Colliers Wood
“My budget, cosmopolitan, transportation”
Umit
“Great local market, convenient shopping, diverse locals, well connected”
Mark
“It has got lots of great outdoor spaces and parks, as well as the River Wandle. Whenever I walk alongside it I feel like I'm in the countryside and provides a little bit of piece in the bustling life of London... Colliers Wood is also very close to Wimbledon with lots of amazing bars, restaurants and shops, however I have noticed a couple of new cafes and pubs opening in Colliers Wood too - seems that it has started to become an up and coming area.”
Local resident
“We have been living in Colliers Wood for almost 3 years now and really like it. We wanted to be close to Wimbledon but with a cheaper rent! We have a baby and there are so many playgroups and nice families around. We enjoy going to the small local market and to the Tandem center where there are plenty of shops. I work in central London and it's very easy to commute with the northern line. This is an area that I find safe with nice parks. Not as pretty as Wimbledon but not as crowded either! ”

About Colliers Wood
