Exterior room with heating in 5-bedroom flat in Putney

There are plenty of shops along the route from Putney Railway Station to the rooms to rent in this 5-bedroom flat on Ibsley Gardens. Immediately as you walk through the front door, you’ll find the first of two shared bathrooms, with a window and a shower stall, while the larger bathroom, on the second floor of the duplex, has a tub and shower. Down a short hallway and around the corner, there is an open L-shaped kitchen and living room with a window overlooking the backyard. The kitchen is equipped with all the small appliances and dishes you’ll need, as well as 2 fridges, a stovetop and oven, and a dual washer and dryer. There's a table with chairs, as well as a loveseat sofa, where you can chat with your flatmates over a cup of coffee.

In the 17th century, Putney Heath was an infamous place to have a duel. The tradition still continues, although these days duels are battled out at the nearby Richmond Park Golf Course, on the pitch of the Putney Heath Cricket Ground and on the courts of the National Tennis Centre. If you’re an athlete, this is probably the best neighborhood to be in. There are a multitude of sport centres, venues, and plenty of green space. Don’t worry, though: there are also tons of shops where you can easily find groceries to fill your fridge and cupboards. Students attending Roehampton University will find the neighborhood especially convenient. The main buildings are only a 20-minute walk away, but the Whitelands College campus is a 3-minute walk away.
