Until the late 19th century Southfields was still fields, situated between the more developed villages of Wimbledon and Putney. It had some paths between the fields, which were the basis of the main roads that exist today. When the District & London & South Western Railway from Wimbledon to Putney Bridge opened in June 1889, the area started to take off, with the first school opening a year later on Merton Road. The most popular area for property to rent in Southfields is 'The Grid'; consisting mainly of terraced Edwardian houses, flats and maisonettes. A local abstinence law prevented any pubs from being built in Southfields but, since that was lifted in the 1990s, two pubs have sprung up next door to each other in Replingham Road.
Three-bedroom houses to rent in Southfields located within easy walking distance of the District Line station, will cost in the region of £1,850 per month, with four-bedroom houses closer to £3,000. One-bedroom flats to rent in Southfields are available in the region of £1,000 per month and for two bedrooms, you should expect to pay £1,150.
