Did you know?
"Built in 1937, Du Cane Court is Balham's largest landmark and Europe's biggest privately owned residential block. Owing to its Art Deco design, it has been used in the filming of ITV's Poirot."
A great mix of independent and high street stores gives Balham a real community feel that always impresses my clients.

Northcote Road, Battersea is a fantastic place to grab a bite to eat, pick up fresh groceries or go for a drink after work.

What locals say about SW12
“So many like minded people around. Balham has a great vibe at the weekend and a huge array of restaurants to choose from. The best part of London.”
Charlie
“Tooting common and the leafy oak trees, and above all else the quiet. Quiet and only 15 minutes from Streatham Hill to Victoria.”
