Neighborhood

'We enter Balham through the verdant grasslands of Battersea Park, and are immediately aware that here is a land of happy contented people,' joked Peter Sellers in his 1950s comedic travel guide to the area entitled ‘Balham, Gateway to the South’. Nowadays the words ring true, with overflowing pavement cafes buzzing with families and young professionals. The former may be on babychinos and the latter on Bloody Marys, but it's a contented mix. There’s space for everyone in Balham, with the perfect park for picnicking, fun bars and a heap of happening restaurants, as well as all the amenities that parents could hope for.

There is a wealth of choice for places to eat and drink in Balham, with all tastes catered for. The Exhibit has become a Balham institution, comprising an American themed diner, cinema, gallery and bar. Ciullosteria is a cheap and cheerful trattoria that has been popular for more than 20 years, but now facing competition in the pizza stakes from Franco Manca, which is fast becoming a London institution. If French cuisine is more to your taste, try Gazette Balham.

The Balham Bowls Club has a cosy clubhouse feel while offering a good range of ales and an attractive menu. The Devonshire is a Young’s pub that has benefited from a recent refurbishment and now has a huge outdoor garden with barbecue area. It's not all about beer here. Incredibly popular Milk serves home made cakes, excellent coffee and plays good records to ease you into the weekend. Bertie and Boo is another child friendly coffee shop, with a soft play area and magic, on demand.

Some of the biggest names in comedy perform at Banana Cabaret in The Bedford pub. The Grove pub is a grand stucco fronted Victorian corner building and screens a movie every Monday evening, followed by a horror feature for the late nighters. Balham Comedy Festival is hosted by The Bedford each year and offers a full week of comedy events.

Balham is surrounded by large green spaces, all just a short distance away from the centre of town. Clapham Common to the north is a spacious expanse that includes pitches for many different sports, as well as fishing opportunities, cafes and a mother and baby club. It plays host to major music festivals in the summer months. Wandsworth Common to the west has been designated as a site of importance for nature conservation, while Tooting Bec Common offers a whole host of activities from horse riding to tennis, nature trails and a youth club.

Transit

Tube: The Northern Line serves Balham itself, as well as Clapham South, to the north of the area, and takes 20 minutes to reach Bank.

Rail: Trains take 18 minutes to Victoria, and there are services to Caterham and Epsom. Clapham Junction is only two stops away for access to many other parts of the country.

Bus: Several bus routes serve Balham, including the 155 from Tooting to Elephant & Castle, 249 from Anerley to Clapham Common, 315 to Norwood and 355 from Mitcham to Brixton.

Road: The roads are busy here and most locals tend to stick to public transport, but the South Circular is very close by for access to other parts of London.

Cycle: Cycle Superhighway 7 runs through Balham linking Merton to the City, and three bike shops cater to cyclists’ needs, Crazy Horse, Cyclopolis and Psubliminal.

Getting away: Balham is equidistant by road from Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with the journey taking under an hour by car.
