Welcome to Putney
Riverside living, village charm and one of the fastest commutes in south-west London — Putney has it all. At Property People, we've been selling, letting and managing property in Putney since 2010, and demand for Putney property for sale and to rent has never been stronger. With fast trains to Waterloo in around 15 minutes, the District line, Thames riverboat services, outstanding schools and a buzzing high street running down to the river, SW15 attracts affluent professionals and families in numbers that keep rents and prices remarkably resilient.
On Screen & In Culture
Putney's most famous moment in the spotlight comes every spring: The Boat Race. The Oxford-Cambridge race has started at Putney Bridge since 1845, with the University Stone marking the start line beside St Mary's Church, and the riverside pubs packed with spectators — one of London's great annual spectacles, televised worldwide. Putney also has a remarkable historical claim to fame: Thomas Cromwell, the power behind Henry VIII's throne immortalised in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and its acclaimed BBC adaptation, was born in Putney around 1485. From Tudor intrigue to rowing glory, Putney has always had a story to tell.
Putney's Most Popular Roads and Neighbourhoods
Putney High Street — The area's beating heart: a lively run of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars flowing down to Putney Bridge and the river. Apartments above and around the High Street are perennially popular with young professional tenants.
Upper Richmond Road — West Putney's charming parade of independent cafés, delis, bakeries and boutiques, surrounded by attractive mansion blocks and period conversions — a firm favourite with our tenants.
Lower Richmond Road and the Embankment — Riverside Putney at its best: rowing clubs, riverside gastropubs and the Thames Path on the doorstep. Property here commands premium rents and intense buyer competition.
Putney Heath and the Lower Common — Leafy, prestigious streets bordering 400 acres of heathland, with grand family houses and some of SW15's finest addresses, prized by families seeking space, greenery and top schools.
