Along the river

Battersea has Battersea Park and the Power Station redevelopment. Putney has the high street and the riverside. Wandsworth has Wandsworth Town and the Southside Shopping Centre. These are close to us, about 10 minutes away or less, so they are among the quickest to get to.

Good to know: Battersea and Putney are each about 10 minutes from our Wandsworth base.

Around the commons

Clapham is built around Clapham Common and Clapham Old Town. Balham has Balham High Road and Hildreth Street Market. Wimbledon has Wimbledon Common and, of course, the All England Lawn Tennis Club, so check our guide to moving in Wimbledon fortnight before you pick a date.

Further out

Richmond has Richmond Park and the riverside, and is around 6.5 miles from us. Kingston and Surbiton are close to the river too.

What changes from place to place

• Parking: Each borough has its own rules and process for reserving space outside your home. Our Parking and Access guide links to the councils.

• Property types: Terraced houses, converted flats and period properties each have their own access challenges, from narrow stairs to no lift.

• Streets: Busy high streets and narrow residential roads affect where the van can stop.

Choosing your move date

Local events can affect traffic, so ask about your area when you book. Your survey is a good moment to raise it.
