Discover Putney

Synonymous with rowing and the River Thames, Putney offers a unique village feel with excellent city connections.

The Home of British Rowing

Putney is internationally famous as the starting point for the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which has taken place since 1829. The stretch of river here is lined with numerous rowing clubs, making it a hub of activity on weekends. The embankment provides a perfect vantage point for watching the crews train and for enjoying a stroll by the water.

Putney High Street and Local Life

Putney High Street is a busy hub with a mix of high-street brands, independent shops, and cafes. The Putney Exchange shopping centre offers a convenient indoor retail experience. The area is also known for its fantastic collection of pubs, from historic riverside inns perfect for a Sunday roast to modern bars serving craft beer.

Green Spaces

Away from the river, Putney is blessed with ample green space. Putney Heath, once a notorious spot for duels, is now a peaceful expanse of heathland and woods, ideal for walking and escaping the city buzz. It merges with Wimbledon Common, offering even more extensive areas to explore. Wandsworth Park also provides a beautiful green link down to the river.

Excellent Transport Links

Putney is a commuter's dream. Putney station offers fast National Rail services to London Waterloo, while East Putney and Putney Bridge stations are on the District Line of the London Underground. This makes it an incredibly convenient base for both work and leisure in London.
