With a large beer garden, live matches shown, and live music on Friday and Saturday nights, the Wandle is Earlsfield’s main night out and a lot of fun (if slightly carnage!). It’s so popular they sometimes have one-in-one-out queues and it attracts a fun, young crowd, and is the perfect spontaneous addition to dinner out.

A 296km National Trail that runs along the north border of Wandsworth alongside the Thames (as the name would suggest!). It’s a really picturesque pedestrian and cycle route overlooking the river.

Cultural
Special mention goes to Earlsfield’s very own, recently built 100-seat theatre with a fantastic schedule of performances: comedies, classical theatre, dance and even foreign language shows, and best of all: tickets are only circa £15 per person, which is an absolute steal compared to the West End. You’ll find it right next to the train station, with a great pre-theatre bar inside.
