Welcome to London x London’s Putney Guide: your guide to the best bars, restaurants and things to do in this South West London neighbourhood.
Putney sits in the London Borough of Wandsworth, on the south bank of the Thames opposite Fulham, with Putney Bridge linking the two across the river.
Putney has come a long way from its 15th-century self, when Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s future chief minister, was born here into a genuinely rough neighbourhood.
Today’s Putney is decidedly upscale, and a fantastic place to live or simply spend an afternoon.
Putney sits on the Thames, and like much of riverside London, the water plays a central role in the experience: rowing clubs, riverside pubs and towpath walks all trade on it. It’s one of South West London’s more understated success stories.
