Shared Ownership in South London | Legal & General Affordable Homes

Local Properties in South London

Comprising 12 full boroughs plus parts of Richmond, South London represents a vast tract of the British capital. One of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan areas in Europe, South London is difficult to summarise in a few paragraphs, but suffice to say it offers a depth of cultural, historical and economic draws that truly set it apart. Yet to live, work or study here has become expensive in recent decades, with the rising cost of housing a particular challenge. Shared Ownership properties from Legal & General Affordable Housing make living in this part of the capital a real possibility for more people than ever.

About South London

South London offers an almost overwhelming array of things to see and do, making it a great place to live for couples and families.

From the fun-packed Crystal Palace Dinosaur park to the Jacobean beauty of Charlton House, from Catford Broadway Theatre to the industrial majesty of Battersea Power Station – South London is nothing if not eclectic. Add the Tate Modern, Lambeth Palace, the Shard, the O2 Arena, and you could fill a lot of weekends exploring this part of the world. A beautiful open space is never far away, whether it’s Crystal Palace Park, Greenwich Park, Dulwich Park, or one of more than 20 other fantastic public parks.

And when it comes to economic opportunities, South London has a huge amount to offer: this is where much of the nation’s money is made and spent. And of course, living in South London opens you up to jobs across the capital and the South East of England.

South East London is also near London’s key rail hubs, offering easy access to other parts of the UK. Several airports are within reach, including Gatwick, Heathrow and London City, making overseas city breaks and longer trips easy and convenient.

Battersea Park

While South Londoners are blessed with many great public gardens, Battersea Park is a real highlight, offering parkland, woods, a boating lake, a peace pagoda, an adventure playground and even a children’s zoo.

Tate Modern

Formerly Bankside Power Station, the Tate Modern is one of the world’s largest modern and contemporary museums. The main collections are free. Highlights include Marilyn Diptych (1962) by Andy Warhol, Mountain Lake (1938) by Salvador Dalí and “Seagram Murals” (the 1950s) by Mark Rothko.

This is a reconstruction of the original Globe which stood on this site around 400 years ago. Step back in time and enjoy Shakespeare’s plays as they were once performed.

The Shard

As one of the tallest buildings in Europe, the Shard deserves to be visited at least once. It offers the best views over the entire capital; you’re sure to be able to spot your L&G affordable home from here!

"Once I came to view the flat, I immediately fell in love with it, and could easily visualise myself living here. The flat is newly decorated, and the location is brilliant for me. Very good transport links with easy and fast trains to central London."
