Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good range of restaurants, busting night life with several bars around the development. There’s a great park within 5 minutes walk and an old cemetery right next to it. Many buses run from both Garratt Lane and the main road and Wandsworth Town train station within 7 minutes walk. There have been instances of anti social behaviour within the area and you’re able to see some suspicious people eventually walking around the green space and sometimes within the development area. After McDonalds opened its doors in Garratt Lane the development and the green area became much more prominent to rubbish. Traffic noise is a fact however you can barely hear it if you got your windows shut. Parking is appropriate for a short stay with whoever is visiting and concierge does its best to accommodate eventual visits. You can purchase a parking space if you have your own car and you can have you car battery recharged within the development.
