Whether you’re single, in a relationship or married with kids, Putney really is the perfect place to live. Despite being just a 15 minute train journey from Waterloo, it has a cosiness about it that makes you forget you’re living in a big, anonymous, fast-paced metropolis. Putney might lack the urban chic of Shoreditch or Brixton but it has a style and personality all of its own. Despite popular myth, that personality is not entirely defined by middle-class yummy mummies – although the predominance of good schools and nurseries are an important ‘pull factor’ for parents moving into the area.
