Neighbourhoods
Nearby Garratt Lane has plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs, nail bars, hair salons, barbers and charity shops! There are a couple of larger supermarkets, Tesco and Sainsburys. I love The Earlsfield Grocer (turn left onto Garratt Lane), his cakes and sausage rolls are delicious! Just along the street is The Earlsfield Grocer's dad, The Thai Grocer. You can buy prepared, home cooked Thai dishes here plus every ingredient for Asian cookery.

Food scene
One of the best nights out! Book yourself on a cookery course at The Avenue. Great to go with a friend or go alone and you will absolutely make friends. As well as learning to cook new dishes it is great fun and helped along with wine!

Local Transport
South West Trains from Earlsfield Station go directly into Waterloo. If you need to link to the metro system then you can get off at Vauxhall and take the Victoria Line, alternatively continue to Waterloo where you have access to Bakerloo, Northern, Jubilee and Waterloo & City Lines. The stop after Earlsfield is Clapham Junction and it is really easy to change trains. You need Platform 11 for the return trip back to Earlsfield.
