Our Balham Sales Team

Our office offers sales on a boutique basis, taking on a maximum of six properties at any given time. This ensures that all our clients receive the highest level of care and attention. Choosing an agent to help you to sell your home is one of the biggest decisions a vendor faces.

At Emma’s we understand this, and our focus is on building relationships based on trust, honesty, and integrity. By limiting the number of sales we take on, we are able to ensure that each and every one of our clients is given our full attention. This allows us to better manage your sale.

What to do in Balham

Balham has a host of bars, restaurants, pubs, cafes and Commons to visit! Heres Emma’s Estate Agent’s guide to Balham.

1.

Places to Eat

There are a host of great places to dine in Balham, here is a short list to wet your whistle.

Arlo’s

‘Steak is what we do’, says the blurb, but don’t come here expecting the dark, sultry glitz of a US steakhouse. Arlo’s is a bright, clean-lined child-friendly spot where the owners seek out the more obscure grass-fed native British breeds and offer three cuts (bavette, hanger, rib-eye) with various sides – although we’d pick a zingy salad over their washout hand-cut chips and sourdough ‘trenchers’.

The Avalon

Balham’s poshest gastropub is a summertime hole-up par excellence, with no fewer than three outdoor spaces to explore: a chilled courtyard area, a buzzy terrace and a fully laid-out garden. Inside, the bar is a good-time spot for drinkers, while the elegant dining room caters to those who prefer chorizo scotch eggs, stone-baked pizzas, dry-aged steaks, plant-based ‘B12’ burgers and sweet banoffee pie.

The Bedford

Famous as an iconic music venue and comedy club, this sprawling Balham boozer is now making some noise as a foodie destination following its re-launch. Head to the handsome dining room at the back for a savvy menu of crowd-pleasers (fish and chips, burgers, steaks) mixed in with the kind of dishes that’ll make you feel trendy (pumpkin ravioli, Moving Mountains vegan burgers, flatbreads with labneh etc). They do proper Sunday roasts too.

Balham bowls Club

One of our personal favourites, Balham Bowls Club is an ex bowls club that has now been converted into a friendly community based pub. It still feels classic and has some throw backs to the days when it used to be a bowls club. As well as having a great vibe, there is also a host of local beers and lagers available.

Milk

If you’re looking for a great cup of coffee and some pretty awesome food you don’t have to look further than Milk. Located in the heart of Balham, this cool cafe offers great artisan coffee and incredible food to match.

The Cyclist

A modern bar thats stylish and cool. Based on the high-street, this is a perfect spot for afterwork drinks or a Sunday lunch. With a great range of drinks and cocktails its a great choice for anyone looking to for a night out or a place to catch up with friends after a long week at work.
