Living In Barnes, London

What Makes It Unique?

For those that are looking to move away from Central London and the hustle and bustle of areas such as Knightsbridge, Covent Garden, The City of London and Soho (as well as many other parts of Central London!) Barnes is a superb choice for home buyers that aren’t necessarily looking to move to the Home Counties or the English countryside.

Barnes offers good value for money when compared to many of its Prime Central London (PCL) counterparts and prime homes here can be bought for the same price as a 3 bed flat in PCL.

Barnes offers potential home buyers a genuine ‘village feel’ as well as excellent schools!

Some of the most sought-after schools in and around Barnes include: Barnes Primary School, Sheen Mount Primary School, East Sheen Primary School, Belmont Primary School, St Paul's School, Latymer Upper School and The Harrodian School.

Transport to and from Barnes is very good, with trains from Barnes Bridge reaching Waterloo in 26 minutes, reaching Chiswick in 19 minutes and reaching Clapham Junction in 16 minutes.

Green spaces in Barnes include Barnes Green and Barnes Common, as well as The London Wetland Centre, where children and adults alike can see ducks, swans, otters, reptiles, and many more animals and insects. You can also bring a picnic to eat around the gardens and you can, of course, simply walk around the gardens, too!
