This is just just a florist - stunning gits too!

Wonderful bacon sandwiches http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/delicatessen/trinity-stores-sw129sg.html#r53047 The best bacon sandwiches in Balham. Good quality bacon (with crispy rind) on buttered sourdough bread. Heavenly. Great coffee too, and a chilled out atmosphere. Perfect for Sunday brunch.

The Best Prints - Excellent Quality. http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/photo-processors/robbies-photographics-sw178qd.html#r48355 Everything you wish from a photographer is under one roof (well actually two roofs as they have a large, well-equipped studio next door).

Robbies is a first class professional photography and printing service. All the latest technology with helpful staff who consider it a craft to give you exactly what you want.

Quality, value for money and courteous service - - highly recommended.

Jack and Sam - gods amongst drinking men. http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/off-license/the-wine-junction-sw177bq.html#r37760 They've run a shop on this site as long as I can remember - probably 20+ years? Their latest incarnation is a pretty decent off-licence, with a well thought out range of wines, arranged by country of origin. They're very knowledgeable on their wines and spirits (they were somehow able to source the rare-as-hens-teeth Cloudy Bay sauv blanc a few years ago too), have a fair few oddities (like absinthe & whiskeys you've never heard of), and most importantly, Sky Sports on all the time. If, like me, you're a sporting nut, they'll happily while away the hours talking football, cricket, boxing, golf, tennis, F1, rugby...

Gifts, wrapped. http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/gift-shops/tickled-pink-sw177eb.html#r14404 If you, like me, are a) lazy and b) disorganised, you love shops like this as they make you seem a) thoughtful and b) prepared.

It’s crammed full of lovely bits and bobs that will thrill even the most demanding of pressie recipients and it’s impossible not to get something special, even when it’s later than last minute. I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve been heading into town to some sort of birthday jamboree from nearby Wandsworth Common station, popped in there for a few minutes and managed to get my paws on some right gifty goodies. Phew.

Specially catered for are girly girls and small children who want something cool and unique (for men folk, there’s The Inside Man a couple of doors down). Even better, Tickled Pink is open latish and will even wrap your swag. A friendship saver.

Park ammunition http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/convenience-stores/rusts-sw177eg.html#r14256 If you’d prefer to spend your sunny weekends in the thick of it on Wandsworth Common, braving the Frisbees/footballs/idiots which haunt it, rather than patronising the bars, cafes and restaurants which line it, then pop to Rusts for all your fizzy pop/News of the World/White Lightning needs. Essential Sunday-on-the-picnic-blanket supplies.

Brilliant !! http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/wandsworth/balham/photo-processors/robbies-photographics-sw178qd.html#r13287 My wife and I are delighted with the superb portrait photographs taken recently at Robbies.

We were straight away put at our ease, and the session was fun but professionally carried out.

The staff are courteous and knowledgeable, and we would thoroughly recommend them.

Dave and Annette Evans
