Parks & Nature

This is showing up as "Stoker Advertising Limited", but I am actually trying to show where the closest entrance to Wandsworth Common is! Awesome London park. Big green spaces, tree lined paths, well equipped kids playground, great cafe, public open air exercise equipment (pull up bars etc), wildlife area (small lake), tennis courts (need to be pre-booked). Great for strolls (rain or shine), exercising, letting the kids play or go for a mini adventure. Walk all the way across the park to Bellevue Road and reward yourself with a pint or meal at one of the many pubs or restaurants facing the common on that stretch.

Nearest entrance to King George's park. Lovely local park. Two kids playgrounds. Well kept flower garden and pond. Tennis courts (need to be pre booked). Great place for the kids to play, for a wander or a run.

Getting Around

Nearest tube station. It's on the District line and about 20 to 25 minutes walk away. It's usually much quicker and easier to go overland from Earlsfield, so make sure you check a London route planner app before setting off for Southfields tube!

Slightly further away than Earlsfield station, but sometimes makes sense to head straight here if you've been out and about over this way.

Nearest station. 13 minutes in to Waterloo. One stop to Wimbledon. Easy access to the tube network by either changing at Vauxhall (for the Victoria line) or at Waterloo. Change at Clapham Junction for direct overland trains to Shepherd's Bush.
