About Balham – A Local Overview
Balham lies within the London Borough of Wandsworth and borders Clapham, Tooting, and Streatham. Its excellent transport links—via the Northern Line, National Rail, and several bus routes—make it ideal for commuters heading into Central London.
The area is known for:
- Balham High Road – lined with independent cafes, bars, and boutiques.
- Tooting Bec Common – offering green open space perfect for outdoor relaxation.
- A mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian homes, and new-build apartments.
Whether you’re upsizing to a family home or downsizing into a modern flat, moving in Balham presents its own unique logistics—tight streets, controlled parking, and narrow access in some areas. That’s where our experience as local SW12 removal specialists really counts.
Council Regulations and Parking Permits in SW12
Balham falls under Wandsworth Council, which requires suspension of parking bays for larger moves. If you’re hiring a removal van or lorry, you’ll need to arrange:
- A Temporary Parking Bay Suspension at least 5 working days in advance.
- Potential payment per space, per day (costs vary based on location).
