Roehampton - SW15
Putney and Roehampton have always been popular, sheltered securely behind their impenetrable natural barriers of greenery and river.... Although large, and often the site of planners' experiments, SW15 has avoided the worst excesses of housing blight and has been rewarded with a wide variety of good to excellent housing stock, all surrounded by vast open spaces which add immeasurably to the quality of life.
Rotherhithe - SE16
Rotherhithe housing is full of 1930s and 1980s flats with a few warehouse conversions. The brave new world of Surrey Quays, heavily bombed in the war, saw most of its old docks backfilled in the Seventies, but there are small survivors in Canada Water and South Dock - now London's largest marina, opened in 1989 - and one big survivor in Greenland Dock, the name an echo of whaling days.
