There’s something magical about wandering your own neighbourhood with fresh eyes. At Single Swan, we believe true wellness starts with simple pleasures—comfort in your clothes, meaningful connections, and moments that help you feel grounded and sparkly from the inside out.

So, whether you're on the hunt for a soul-nourishing brunch spot or a local shop that just gets your vibe, here’s our lovingly curated list of the hidden gems we adore in and around Wimbledon and Southfields.

1. Florentina Boutique – Southfields

Tucked away like a treasure chest waiting to be opened, Florentina Boutique is our go-to for unique fashion finds that feel as joyful and effortless as a summer stroll. Their eye for detail and edit of chic, wearable pieces mirrors our own philosophy—feel-good fashion with heart. Pop in for a chat with the lovely owner and prepare to fall in love with something unexpected.

2. Chilli & Basil Thai Restaurant – Southfields

This cosy gem is bursting with bold flavours and charm. Chilli & Basil does comforting Thai classics to perfection—think fragrant curries, crispy spring rolls, and service that feels like a warm hug. Your midweek takeaway just got an upgrade.

3. Saucer & Cup – Arthur Road

If you’ve ever craved a coffee that actually gives you life, Saucer & Cup is your place. Beautiful brews, a welcoming team, and pastries that rival your mum’s best baking. It’s a calm corner of Wimbledon where creativity flows and time slows down.

4. Brookwood Café - Brookwood Road

A light-filled café that’s just as nourishing for the soul as it is for the belly. Brookwood is a haven for seasonal food lovers and weekend brunch-goers alike. The vibe? Relaxed, inspiring, and always a little bit delicious.

5. Village Butcher – Replingham Road

Sustainable, high-quality, and community-minded, Village Butcher is everything we love in a local business. Whether you’re picking up dinner or just having a chat about cooking tips, the warmth here is real.

6. Home at Last – Garratt Lane

Interior dreams come to life at Home at Last. From candles that calm to quirky statement pieces, this is the kind of shop that makes you want to redecorate your whole space with joy. (Warning: it’s nearly impossible to leave empty-handed.)

7. Olive Garden Restaurant – Replingham Road

Simple, hearty and full of flavour, Olive Garden feels like a little Mediterranean holiday in the heart of Southfields. The staff are lovely, the dishes are comforting, and it’s the perfect place to exhale after a long day.

And There’s More…

Because what would a wander be without a few more surprises?

8. Wimbledon Park Beach Volleyball

Yes, you read that right—beach volleyball in Wimbledon Park! Whether you're joining a game or just watching with a smoothie in hand, there’s something so freeing about sand between your toes and sunshine on your skin. It’s like a mini holiday, minutes from home.

9. Soak London – Replingham Road

Self-care, but make it luxe. Soak London is a holistic beauty and skincare studio that will have you glowing from the inside out. From soothing facials to their divine infrared sauna, this place is your wellness sanctuary disguised as a chic beauty bar.

10. The Grid Nail Salon – Durnsford Road

We’re obsessed with The Grid. Their chic aesthetic, precision artistry, and genuinely lovely team make every visit feel like a treat. Whether it’s a glossy neutral or a full sparkle moment, they always nail it.

11. JJ Stores – Durnsford Road

This unassuming gem is the unsung hero of home essentials. JJ Stores is the kind of place you pop into for batteries and leave with five useful things you didn’t know you needed. Friendly, affordable, and full of surprises—it’s a proper neighbourhood staple.

12.  Bounce Gym - The Crescent

Less than 5 minutes from Wimbledon Park Station is your neighbourhood powerhouse—10,000 sq ft of functional training space, studio classes (HIIT, Fit, Pilates, WOD), and an on-site injury clinic for top-to-toe wellness. With no-joining-fee flexibility or a handy PAYG option at around £15–£17.50, it’s perfect whether you’re easing into a fitness journey or already smashing personal bests. They also have the loveliest team.

Wellness in Your Walk

At Single Swan, we believe that beauty and comfort belong in the everyday. These local spots inspire us with their authenticity, care, and community spirit. Just like our pieces, they’re all about feeling good, inside and out.

So next time you’re out and about in Wimbledon, take the long way home. Explore with intention. Treat yourself. Smile at strangers. And of course, wear something that makes you feel like you.
