Properties in Earlsfield

Until the original development of Earlsfield station and arrival of the railway in 1884, there were few residential properties. The railway’s arrival triggered a development boom and by 1900 almost all streets north of the station were lined with rows of terraced houses. These distinctive late Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with intricate tile and brick details, dominate the Earlsfield property market. The majority of the housing stock is made up of medium sized terraced housing representative of Earlsfield’s working class routes. Most of the area was built in Victorian times after the opening of the station, although with later built properties on The Magdalen Estate which rises up to Wandsworth Common.

There is a large and varied selection of pubs, bars, restaurants and specialist independent shops along Garratt Lane, the most recent being The Earlsfield, a gastropub converted from the original booking hall of the station with high vaulted ceiling and dating back to 1884. Ben’s Canteen is a popular place for weekend brunch and Sunday morning Bloody Marys. Mel’s Vintage Beats is also well regarded locally for its brunches and breakfasts. The Halfway House serves a locally famous Sunday roast. The 2010 Masterchef winner Dhruv Baker owns The Jolly Gardeners and is earning an excellent reputation.
