	Putney Links and Information

	Putney is a thriving riverside town in the heart of south west London that manages to combine a central location close to the West End with a real neighbourhood feel.
Film, Theatre, Culture and Leisure	There are a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bars and pubs, plus a cinema (www.odeon.co.uk), a library and a leisure centre (www.dcleisurecentres.co.uk). There’s even a theatre, the Putney Arts Theatre, which is home to two theatre groups (www.putneyartstheatre.org.uk).
Shopping	Shopping is good, with the Putney Exchange shopping centre, a regular French market, branches of Waitrose and Sainsburys, plus a range of chain stores and independent shops in the High Street and Upper and Lower Richmond Roads.
Open Spaces	There are some beautiful open spaces nearby, including, of course, the Embankment along the river Thames, which is home to several rowing clubs. Putney Heath and Putney Common are also close by. Find out more about the history of the common and how it is run by visiting www.wpcc.org.uk.
Music	The renowned music venue, the Half Moon Pub, is less than 5 minutes walk away down the Lower Richmond Road. See what's on by visiting www.halfmoon.co.uk.
