Shops in Southfields
Southfields has a small village-like feel, so there are no big supermarkets but rather greengrocers, butcher, delis, and off-licences. To do a bigger shop or find clothes, you’ll need to head elsewhere.
Southside shopping mall, Wandsworth

Wimbledon
10 mins on the District line with high street stores, shopping centres and chain supermarkets.
Wimbledon Village
