This Victorian home sits on a tree-lined street just moments from Wandsworth Common. With a Tube station and mainline railway within walking distance, zipping across London is no bother – though plenty of shops, restaurants, and wine bars are a short walk away. We think it's an excellent option for families. There's plenty of space inside – think two reception rooms, a light-filled kitchen, and even a study for remote workers. Best of all, there's a private garden to take advantage of, too. It's a sweet bonus come summertime and makes an ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco aperitif before dinner.

Home truths:
*This home is spread across four floors, so there will be stairs to climb.
*The lead guest here must be at least 25 years old.
*If you're travelling for work, there's a separate office here.
*Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in London. Instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of public transportation. Clapham South underground station and Wandsworth Common mainline station are within walking distance.
*While there isn't air conditioning here, your host can provide fans.
