Putney sits in a bend of the Thames in Southwest London, defined largely by its relationship with the river and its expansive green spaces. Historically, it was the site of the 1647 Putney Debates - a pivotal moment in British democratic history held at St Mary’s Church - and today it remains best known as the starting point for the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Geographically, it bridges the gap between urban density and the openness of the suburbs; the High Street is a busy commercial hub, but a short walk takes you to the 400-acre Putney Heath, which merges into Wimbledon Common. The district is well-connected, served by its own mainline station and two stops on the District Line, though many residents still opt for the river bus from Putney Pier for a slower commute into the City. It manages to feel self-contained, with the rowing clubs along the Embankment providing a distinct pace of life that persists regardless of the traffic moving across Putney Bridge.
