The Lanes, 9 Lapidge Drive, SW17

The Lanes is a wildly green collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and three-bedroom houses set within London’s largest new park. Nestled between buzzy Tooting and leafy Earlsfield, it’s the perfect home for hybrid living. Whether you're tapping in and out of central London via quick transport links, or choosing to unwind in 32 acres of urban wilderness right outside your door, The Lanes offers the best of both worlds.

Lifestyle on Your Doorstep

Your new neighbourhood comes packed with perks — including a supermarket, a great gym, and a local café just moments from home. Designed with community in mind, The Lanes also features shared spaces and events that bring neighbours together.

With bustling markets, a vibrant food scene, and a year-round cultural calendar, SW17 is London at its lively best. And yet, The Lanes sits in its own tranquil green bubble — where you can hear birdsong and feel the grass beneath your feet. Here, spending more time outdoors becomes second nature — not another missed New Year’s resolution.

London’s Newest and Greenest Park

Imagine waking up each day to London’s newest and most exciting green space. Opened in 2023, Springfield Park is the largest new park in the capital since the 2012 Olympic Games — and it’s truly impressive.

Read a book beneath the trees, stroll through the sensory rose garden, or try to spot up to 15 species of butterfly. For something more active, take a jog through the meadows or catch an open-air concert in the amphitheatre. Kids will love the multiple playgrounds — especially the climbing boulders — and grown-ups can unwind with a coffee from the pavilion café. This is a slice of nature as laid-back or energising as you want it to be.

The Best of Three Neighbourhoods

Set in the sweet spot between Tooting, Earlsfield, and Wandsworth, The Lanes puts three distinctive neighbourhoods at your fingertips.

Tooting is full of energy, fast becoming known for its exceptional food scene and lively nightlife — from street eats at the iconic Tooting Market to live music at Northcote Records and comedy nights that never disappoint.

A short stroll away, Earlsfield offers a calmer, leafy charm. Think riverside walks and cosy Sunday roasts at your favourite local pub.

Just beyond, Wandsworth Common offers a vibrant village vibe — with independent shops, chic brunch cafés, and historic pubs drawing dog walkers, runners and weekend wanderers. And if you're craving even more, Clapham is just around the corner, home to cult-favourite restaurants and cutting-edge fitness studios like Psycle.
