Letting and Renting in Furzedown:

A Landlord and Tenant Area Guide

London Borough of Wandsworth  ·  SW17 & SW16

An Introduction to Furzedown

Furzedown, straddling the SW17 and SW16 postcodes in the borough of Wandsworth, is a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood tucked between Tooting and Streatham. Often described as a hidden village, it is defined by attractive Edwardian terraces, leafy residential streets and a strong community spirit centred on Moyser Road and Mitcham Lane. Without its own station, Furzedown trades a slightly longer walk to transport for calm, space and value — drawing families who want a settled, community-minded base within easy reach of Tooting's amenities and the Northern line. As Lettings and Property Management specialists, this is one of our core markets.

Transport and Connectivity

Furzedown does not have its own railway station, but the Northern line at Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway — a short walk or bus ride away — gives direct services to the City and West End, and Streatham and Streatham Common stations offer Southern and Thameslink rail to Victoria and London Bridge. An extensive bus network along Mitcham Lane and surrounding roads links Furzedown to Tooting, Streatham and Mitcham. The trade-off of a short walk to transport is the area's calm, residential character.

Everyday shopping is covered by Mitcham Lane and the parades, with Tooting's celebrated markets and high street and Streatham's amenities close by. Tooting Common and the Streatham commons anchor the green space, giving Furzedown a notably leafy, family-friendly setting.
