WANDSWORTH AREA GUIDE, SW18

SW18 is a large postcode encompassing Wandsworth Town, Earlsfield and Southfields. Wandsworth Town is at the North of the postcode, near Wandsworth Bridge which links up with Fulham on the other side of the river. To the east of Wandsworth is Wandsworth Common which is a beautiful expanse of space that is extremely popular in the summer for picnics, family days out and sports. Earlsfield and Southfields are both very popular areas, which are relaxed and have a nice community spirit. Both feel quite safe. There are a decent number of pubs, bars and restaurants in the area. Other benefits to SW18 include excellent fast transport links into Central London and extremely cheap council tax compared to the rest of the country.
