Although it’s no longer a well-kept secret, Balham has kept its community feel thanks to its penchant for independent boutiques, bars and restaurants. Although it has plenty of space to play with and lots of natural light, this large shop to let will even have fans of the distressed look thinking it needs some work. But it will put your idea near Clapham South station on a busy main road lined with shops, eateries and pubs.

THE CROWD

Tucked between Clapham and Tooting, Balham’s a popular choice for young families and young professionals. Weekday mornings and evenings see plenty of people doing the school run and heading to and from Clapham South station, a minute’s walk away. Weekends are busy with locals doing their grocery shopping at the M&S Simply Food opposite, or making their way to one of Balham’s many brunch spots, including The Common Room next door.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

You’ll be on a corner, with The Common Room café next door to you and the family-owned Mathews Shoe Repairers next door but one. There’s an estate agent on the opposite corner, and M&S Simply Food is over the road.
