Local information about Putney
Putney, in the London postcode of SW15 (and parts of SW13, SW18, SW6, SW19), is a desirable riverside district in South West London, spanning the London Boroughs of Wandsworth and Richmond upon Thames. Located between Fulham, Wandsworth, and Barnes on the south bank of the River Thames, Putney has a population of approximately 45,000 and is known for its historic riverside, the start of the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, and its excellent schools and transport links.
Putney is home to a diverse mix of period property styles. The area features magnificent Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many with red brick and stucco facades, bay windows, and generous gardens, particularly around Putney High Street, Upper Richmond Road, West Hill, Putney Hill, and the streets leading towards Wandsworth Common and Barnes. The iconic Putney Bridge (opened in 1886, Grade II-listed) and Putney Embankment offer stunning views across the Thames to Fulham and Craven Cottage (Fulham FC's stadium). The historic Putney Pier (Thames Clippers stop) is the traditional start of the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race (the University Boat Race, held every spring). There are also substantial 1930s semi-detached and detached houses around Putney Heath, Roehampton, and the green spaces near Wimbledon Common, as well as a growing number of contemporary apartment buildings on the riverside (including the Putney Wharf development) and along the Putney High Street regeneration area.
