Meet new people in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is one of the most popular parts of London for people in their twenties and thirties: flat shares around Clapham Junction, Balham and Tooting, big commons, and the river at Putney and Battersea. It's full of people who moved here for work and haven't yet met many neighbours.

PingMee helps you change that. Post a status saying what you're up for (a run round Battersea Park, a swim at Tooting Bec Lido, a drink on Northcote Road), see who's around in Wandsworth right now, and send them a ping. If they ping back, a private chat opens for the two of you. It's for new friends, relationships and networking, and it's free.

Good places to meet people in Wandsworth

Battersea Park

Lakes, gardens and a riverside path: big enough for a long walk, busy enough to feel easy.

Clapham Common

Wide open space shared with Lambeth, with cafés and plenty of people around on any sunny day.

Tooting Common

Woods, open grass and the lido: good for a relaxed first meet-up.

Putney Embankment

Watch the rowers from the riverside path, then walk towards Putney Bridge.

Wandsworth Common

A local common with ponds and a café, quieter than Clapham on a weekend.

Tooting's markets

Two covered markets full of small food stalls, so nobody has to agree on a restaurant in advance.

Regular things on

Battersea parkrun and Tooting Common parkrun

Free, timed 5k runs on Saturday mornings. Plenty of people stay for a coffee afterwards.

Swimming at Tooting Bec Lido

One of the largest open-air pools in the country, with a friendly crowd of regular swimmers.

Rowing on the Thames at Putney

The rowing clubs on the embankment are some of London's most sociable sports clubs.

Shows at Battersea Arts Centre

New theatre and performance in the old town hall on Lavender Hill.
