Introducing Wandsworth
One of London’s most effortlessly salubrious areas, Wandsworth is a model of what city living should be. Wandsworth Common, a spacious patch of greenery in the middle of the district, is a favourite spot for the area’s young families, filling up with prams and picnic blankets on weekends. Cutting through the park is Bellevue Road, the site of low-key French colonisation and the perfect spot for a croque monsieur.
