Map of the UK

East Putney sits on the south bank of the River Thames within the London Borough of Wandsworth, a compact, predominantly residential slice of Putney with leafy streets, Victorian and Edwardian terraces and a handful of low-rise apartment blocks. It benefits from strong transport links - notably East Putney tube station on the District line and easy road and bus connections across Putney Bridge - and lies within walking distance of the riverside, famed rowing clubs and the start of the Championship Course used for the Boat Race.

Culturally the area mixes village-like high street life around Putney High Street with cafes, independent shops and a busy local commuter population; property prices tend to be above the London average and the community is largely families and professionals. There are also deeper historic threads - Putney is associated with the 1647 Putney Debates and has long been a riverside crossing and suburbanising influence - while local parks and community groups keep a strong neighbourhood feel despite being inside London.
