房源位置

Serving as a bridge between the cheerful bustle and vibrant street life of Tooting and the leafy reaches and suburban shopping centres of Wimbledon, Colliers Wood is a compact residential area in south-west London. Its place name is derived from the charcoal burners, known as ‘colliers’, of medieval times who made their living collecting wood from the forests that once covered this part of the Capital. The river Wandle, too, provided industrial and creative impetus in the area, and as traditional occupations have declined, retail has taken their place. A stop on the Northern line ensures an easy commute into the City and West End and, with plenty of buses serving neighbouring areas of South London, Colliers Wood is increasingly seen as a reliable choice for first-time buyers, young families and commuters alike.
With the river Wandle running through the heart of the neighbourhood, green space is one of the area’s great advantages with a riverside wander taking in Wandle Park, Wandle Meadow Park and the National Trust-owned Morden Hall Park. Deen City Farm lies close to Merton Abbey Mills and is a popular family day out with petting zoo, riding school and café. The nature reserves, wildlife, bridleways, golf courses and sports facilities of Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park are also within easy reach.
Coffee in the Wood on the High Street is a popular choice for brunch and lavish selections of savoury and sweet bakes – including the legendary Jammy Muffnut. The Charles Holden, perched on the edge of Wandle Park, offers the full gamut of pub life, from quizzes to a wine appreciation society, as well as serving a menu of upmarket pub classics, which you can enjoy in its attractive garden – large enough to accommodate a bouncy castle on Sundays. Merton Abbey Mills, meanwhile, has a range of restaurants making the most of its pleasant waterside setting with outdoor terraces and seating. Italian restaurant La Violetta, family-run Ban Yai Thai, and the snug Rock Star Sushi all come highly recommended. Also on site, Merton Apprentice and The William Morris serve up a fine line in local and regional brews, pub grub and Sunday roasts.
