Southfields Local Information
Located in the London Borough of Wandsworth, Southfields gets it’s
name from an historical class system which reference the “south
fields” of the manor of Dunsford and dates all the way back
to 1247. The area was still primarily woods until the late nineteenth
century, but the railway system spurred growth in the area, and
it quickly became a hub for building. This vast growth has somewhat
limited parking to a few street spots, and a few large lots for
your van rental.
The main residential area of Southfields is known as “The
Grid” since it is a series of parallel roads that make up
a grid at their intersections. This same area is made up of mostly
large Victorian style homes and some have been converted to much
sought after flats.
Pubs were prohibited from being built by a city ordinance until
the late 1990’s, but that has since been lifted and now many
of the popular watering holes dot the streets. Home prices have
risen drastically in recent years due to the great schools and transportation
choices. There is a large South African population in Southfields,
mostly due to the proximity to Wimbledon and love of sports. A few
famous residents include author Paul Richards, Rugby player Will
Greenwood and comedian Paul Merton to name a few.
