Living in East Putney
East Putney is a small residential area between Putney and Wandsworth town. It is a mix of late Victorian terraced houses and post-war detached houses in leafy streets, all within walking distance of East Putney tube station.
The growing popularity of East Putney has seen the development of new apartment houses, mews-style terraced houses, and large period houses converted into luxury flats.
East Putney residents have greatly benefited from a new supermarket on the corner of Keswick Road and Upper Richmond Road.
Continuing west along Upper Richmond Road towards Putney High Street, there are numerous convenience stores and inexpensive restaurants, including a Pizza Express.
Putney railway station is at the southern end of Putney High Street and heading north there is a Sainsbury's, a WHSmith and various pubs, coffee shops and stores, including an M&S Food Hall.
On the west side of the High Street is Putney Exchange, a pretty shopping mall with chemists, cafés, hairdressers, a Waitrose and shops selling toys, clothes and computer games.
By Putney Bridge is an Odeon cinema and behind the cinema is a development of luxury flats and a pedestrianised area with several restaurants.
At the northern end of East Putney towards the River Thames is Wandsworth Park, a vast area of green which is perfect for playing sports. By the river is a tree-lined walk and at the eastern end of the park is a small sports centre.

History and culture
The parish church of St Mary The Virgin, on the south side of Putney Bridge, hosted the Putney Debates of 1647. Towards the end of the English Civil War, soldiers serving Oliver Cromwell were concerned that they were removing their monarch and replacing him with a dictator.
The soldiers, known as the "Levellers", drew up an Agreement of the People which subsequently influenced much of the wording in the United States Declaration of Independence. In 1649 King Charles the First was beheaded and Cromwell all but crowned himself king, executing most of the Levellers to ensure his grip on power.
Since the mid 19th century, Putney has been a significant centre for rowing. Over twenty rowing clubs are based on Putney Embankment and they have produced a plethora of Olympic medallists.
The University Boat Race, contested annually between Oxford and Cambridge, has used Putney Bridge as its starting point since 1845.
