Ashworths is a firm of commercial and residential property solicitors in Earlsfield, ideally placed to assist you in buying your new home or business premises in the area. Read on for the lowdown on Earlsfield.
Earlsfield is a highly sought-after area, and with good reason. Found on the quieter end of Wandsworth and boasting beautiful streets of terraced houses and open spaces, it is ideal for anybody looking to relocate to a tranquil and leafy spot without sacrificing proximity to other areas of London. Earlsfield attracts many families thanks to its nearness to several excellent schools, however there is also an increasing number of young professionals moving into the area too, taking advantage of the neighbourhood’s many trendy bars and restaurants. This mix of residents gives the area a healthy vitality and emphasises its desirability.
In April 1884, when London & South Western Railway opened Earlsfield train station, the ensuing development boom led to a growth in property in Earlsfield. The area was named after a large Victorian mansion, now demolished, that stood south of Allfarthing Lane. The house was originally sold to L&SWR on the condition that the new station would be named after it. Thus, the area of Earlsfield was born.
The neighbourhood offers a variety of buzzy and popular places to eat and drink, from Sunday roasts and seafood at The Open Page to mouth-watering steak at Roxie Steak. For pub trips check out The Earlsfield outside the train station or The Leather Bottle on Garratt Lane. It’s also home to some lovely brunch spots: be sure to try out The Eclectic Collection’s famous English breakfast.

A particularly desirable facet of the area would have to be its close proximity to many gorgeous parks and green spaces. In 1899 Wandsworth Council purchased Garratt Green, which is now a beautiful and popular public green space – a particular shout-out must go to the Garratt Park allotments which are put to great use by local residents. King George’s Park has 55 acres of space alongside a tennis club for those who are sports-inclined. Plus, the close by Wandsworth Common offers picturesque areas to walk in and a lake for lounging beside or fishing.
One of the many benefits of living in Earlsfield is the area’s brilliant transport links. Trains run regularly from Earlsfield station to Waterloo, taking only 10 minutes. The train to Victoria is 20 minutes with a change at Clapham Junction. You can also hop on the 44 bus to Victoria, the 77 to Waterloo, and the 270 to Putney Bridge. For those who prefer getting on their bike, the cycle from Earlsfield to Victoria takes just 35 minutes.

Southside Shopping Centre, at the top of Garratt Lane, has a great selection of shops across fashion, lifestyle and more, including H&M, Oliver Bonas, Uniqlo, and JD Sports. There’s also a large Sainsbury’s and Waitrose in the shopping centre, with a Tesco Express by the station. Clapham Junction, very nearby, offers an Asda superstore.
Thanks to the development boom following the arrival of the railway in 1884, property north of the station in Earlsfield is characterised by pretty streets of distinctive late Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties with intricate tile and brick details. The majority of these properties are home to three or four bedrooms alongside gardens.
The area offers an extensive selection of schools, from state to private. Notable primary schools include Beatrix Potter School, Earlsfield Primary School, Wimbledon Park Primary School and Floreat Wandsworth Primary School.
For secondary schools, you can choose from three academies. Co-ed options include Southfields Academy and the Ashcroft Technology Academy, which offers the International Baccalaureate as an alternative to A and AS Levels. The single-sex Burntwood Academy is a popular choice among those who would like to send their daughters to a girls’ school. Garratt Park School on Waldron Road takes in a variety of SEND students.
