“A big WELCOME and enjoy”

Until 1889 Putney was part of the ‘Hundred of Brixton’ parishes and was actually in Surrey. It was then grouped with Wandsworth to be part of Greater London. The area appears in the Domesday Book as a river crossing, and in the 1840s it was still connected to Fulham by a wooden bridge. The new stone incarnation, still standing today, opened in 1886 and is the starting point of the famous annual Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race.

Property in Putney varies from new, modern builds to old, restored Victorian and Edwardian-era houses. There’s something for everyone and every family in Putney. Some of the most coveted addresses include St Simon’s Avenue where there are generous 1920s properties; Deodar Road with direct access to the Thames; Bristol Gardens, which is surrounded by Putney Heath; period conversion apartments in Keswick Road or mansion blocks in Kenilworth Court. A number of large developments of modern apartments have been built in recent years along the riverbanks and Upper Richmond Road.
