Wandsworth Council

Southside has some unoccupied sites inside but the area facing Garrett Lane is being redeveloped. Some new shops will be opening in 2015. It will also have a rival when the old brewery site is redeveloped. It has a good range of shops and eating places. It also has a few temporary market stall sellers in the main pedestrian area, selling sweets, phone accessories, etc. It has its own multi story car park and the buses and taxis stop just outside. It is not a competitor for the larger shopping malls but it is an asset for the Wandsworth area.

This mall is improving, yes its a bit ghetto! don’t expect any nice shops but its my local and I’m proud of the progress this little mall is making! it even has a GBK and Wagamamas here now! its still a little rough around the edges and its £1 land customers (once in a while I make a detour in this place I must admit to buy envelopes), This place was run down for years and is getting a much needed makeover even though it still attracts a very urban customer mixed with the Waitrose shoppers but that is how Clapham and Wandsworth areas are, they are a big mix of different types of people. The area is cleaning up with all the renovation work going on and its exciting to see Wandsworth evolve. I wouldn’t go running out of my way to go here if I didn’t live here, its just nice to have all these local shops near by.

Having lived here for over 3 years now, I see this place going from strength to strength. Initially it was a shabby place to shop. All the cheap brands such as risky and shoezone were thriving here, but as the catchment area has become more wealthy, we can see great brands arriving (oliver bonas, topshop, uniqlo, office, republic, large tkmaxx to name a few). Step by step the dodginess is being replaced by quality. Upstairs you have cinema and some restaurants (honestly, they need to be replaced by more appealing chains as well).
there are even more changes expected such as two-​storey sainsbury’s and a hotel. This is the next best thing in south-​west London, so don’t wander to westfield, we have a park, waitrose and coffee shops here as well.

Did you know they filmed GRANGE HILL here in ¹⁹⁷⁹⁄₁₉₈₀? (The scenes where the two girls go shoplifting, and later, when Tucker and his friends are chased by Mr Baxter!)
Check this clip out! Changed a bit, hasn’t it!

Why is it that every year when Christmas looms around the corner, that you know what’s coming? Inappropriately early adverts for coca-​cola with that boy and the lit-​up lorry, Christmas lights down every high street, the x-​factor gearing up for it’s festive finale, and stripey jumpers in gap.
This branch, in the ever-​gentrifying Southside in Wandsworth, is no exception. If you want autumnal stripes, this is where you get them. Also, they do make quality clothes, and at the moment have offers on, the stores always feel welcoming and well-​kept, and they have a great range of

This is a rather strange shopping mall as depending on what side you enter it, it can give two rather different first impressions.
There is an older part to this mall which is shabby and falling apart. There has been a leak in the roof for the entire two years I lived in Wandsworth and this is resolved with buckets to collect the water that falls from the swimming pool in the gym above.
However on the opposite side of the Mall the shops and the centre itself looks new and is sparkingly clean.
There are a nice variety of fashion (H&M, Primark and others), home and books (WHSmith, Borders, HMV) stores in the Mall, also a Boots, SuperDrug, Argos and Waitrose.
There is a Virgin Active gym on the upper level on the one side and a food court with KFC, Spur, Nandos, Pizza Hut and a McDonalds available on the other. On the second floor (lobby is on first floor at food court) there is a massive cineworld, with loads of screens.
There is also a Sainsburys in close proximaty to the Mall.
This is a very convenient shopping centre offering shops that sell everything one woudl need to function with day to day life.
Very handy if you live in the Wandsworth and Southfields area.
There are also loads of shops and internet cafes in the high street on which Southside mall can be found.

Southside offers shops such as Primark, H and M, Gap and Oliver Bonas. These are useful as there are not many of these shops in and around the Wandsworth area. The problem is that it is in quite a rough area and on the way in or out in the dark, you have to watch your back. You really take your own life in your hands. The cinema is great with lots of screens and a glamarous VIP area which is always fun. Overall a good set of shops in a horrible setting.

A little dingy, this shopping centre is pretty good for southwest Londoners that can’t find anywhere closer/​better. However, the quality and the shops lessen by the day, so I foresee either a hearty revitalisation or complete closedown for Southside.
With a Primark, GAP, various mobile phone shops, Waitrose, JD Sports, etcetc it’s got all your mainstream needs. With the cinema and food area upstairs (KFC, Spur, Pizza Hut or whatever) you can do a bit of shopping in the day and chill out with a movie in the evening. The cinema itself is pretty good, though the bathrooms always seem like they can use with a good cleaning. Shows mainstream and a plethora of Bollywood films.

Oliver Bonas is a unique little boutique style gift shop. They have many in and around London and this is one of the few local ones in my areas. They are a welcoming little shop that sells all things from jewellery and clothes to beauty products and books. The prices can be a little on the expensive side but worth it if you want a quirky gift or some inspiration. The service is always great in this shop with the staff being friendly and always greeting you when you walk into the branch. I have found this in most Oliver Bonas shops so this is no exception! Whenever I walk in I feel like a child in a toy shop. I just HAVE to buy something. The interior is bright and colourful and all the products are far from boring. The nearest station to this branch is Wandsworth Town, but don’t blame me if you get home late as you will find yourself walking around this little treasure trove for a good while!
They also gift wrap too. At no extra charge which is an added bonus just be careful you don’t buy yourself something and forget about the special gift you went in for!

Southside is not the biggest of shopping centres, but it has a good range of shops you would expect and also a cinema and food area with range of different food shops. The mall is well lit and has a clean atmosphere.
It has a good transport link with many buses stopping just outside it.

Southside is a great shopping mall with stores such as; JD sports, hmv, claires, mothercare, oliver bonas, uni qlo, gap (coming soon), next, primark, body shop, river island a giant waitrose and more! Upstairs is also got restaurants toilets and a cinema!
The security is very good and the whole mall is very clean and the staff inside the shop very helpful. Definately recommended as a place to do some shopping :)
