May I ask what other areas you considered before deciding for Balham? Earlsfield which is lovely but the transport isn't as good How about council-subsidised gyms or swimming pools? As far as council facilities: Pool at Balham is small but pleasant. They've squash courts and a gym too. Tooting (whi...
