Putney is bordered by the Thames to the north, Earlsfield to the east, Wimbledon to the south and Richmond to the west. Young families are drawn to the area as the residential properties often have larger gardens and easier access to open spaces than those over the river in Fulham.
The students of nearby Roehampton University have a variety of bars to frequent including Tequila Mockingbird and the Toy Shop in addition to the more traditional pubs such as the Jolly Gardener, the Cats Back or The Queen Adelaide.
