Set on one of Tooting’s most desirable residential streets, the Franciscan Road development offers a boutique collection of beautifully crafted apartments that marry Victorian character with modern design. Each home has been thoughtfully created from a classic period conversion, resulting in spacious layouts, high ceilings, and a wealth of natural light. With options ranging from two to three bedrooms, private gardens, and open-plan living, this development is designed for those who value both style and comfort.
Positioned between Tooting Broadway and the leafy expanse of Tooting Bec Common, residents benefit from the best of both worlds: vibrant city living with an abundance of green space close by. Whether it’s a morning stroll across the Common, a relaxed brunch at a local café, or a swift commute into the City, Franciscan Road makes it all effortlessly possible. With meticulous attention to detail in every finish and a location rich in community spirit, these apartments set a new benchmark for contemporary living in South West London.
Inside, each apartment is designed to enhance daily living. Open-plan kitchens flow seamlessly into bright reception rooms, creating sociable spaces perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Finishes such as engineered oak herringbone flooring and sleek stone worktops add understated elegance, while integrated appliances and carefully planned lighting provide a sophisticated yet practical environment. Bathrooms and en suites are appointed with contemporary fixtures, combining clean design with a touch of luxury.
Living on Franciscan Road means you’re never far from everyday essentials or something a little more special. Tooting Broadway has all the high-street favourites you’d expect, while Tooting Market is perfect for wandering at the weekend. From artisan produce to vintage gems, it’s the sort of place where you always stumble across something you didn’t know you needed.
Tooting has built a reputation as one of South London’s most exciting food destinations, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re grabbing a flat white at Mud, sampling authentic South Asian dishes, or exploring the ever-changing food stalls at Tooting Market, there’s something for every craving. In August, the neighbourhood even celebrates its diversity with the Taste of Planet Tooting food walk, a chance to eat, explore, and meet the makers behind some of the area’s best-loved flavours.
There’s a real buzz to Tooting that goes beyond its food and shopping. The Grade I listed Granada cinema is a striking reminder of the area’s heritage, while Tooting Bec Lido offers open-air swimming in the UK’s largest pool, a must in the summer months. And for green space, the newly opened Springfield Park has quickly become a local favourite, with landscaped gardens, a pavilion café, and plenty of space for events, fitness, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Getting around from Franciscan Road couldn’t be simpler. Tooting Broadway station on the Northern Line takes you straight into the City or the West End, while nearby Balham connects you to Overground services. Local bus routes keep you well connected across South West London, and recent improvements to cycling and walking routes mean getting around on foot or two wheels is easier than ever
