Question

What is southfields like as an area to live in?

Answer 1

Yeah its not bad... its quite suburban with lots of families and quite safe.  The transport is ok with tubes to the city and Wimbledon, so give it a go

Answer 2

My colleague lives in Southfields, and she's very happy there. It's on the District line, which makes it fairly easy to get into town. It's very near Wimbledon which is a decent part of London, and it's also close to Putney which is where my colleague goes drinking. (There's a nice pub by the river in Putney she always raves about!)

But she tells me it is VERY South African In Southfields. All her neighbours are from South Africa, and she reckons it's the only accent you hear there nowadays!

I went to her place once, and the area seemed pretty OK to me. It appeared to be reasonably clean and safe, and there were plenty of buses going through, making transportation no problem.
