Monthly parking near Putney.

Controlled parking rings Putney station and the high street, and the pressure eases only as the hill climbs towards the Heath, where houses with actual driveways begin. Down by the Embankment, rowing crews and river walkers compete for whatever the residents have left.

Putney station runs direct trains towards Waterloo and East Putney is on the District line, so commuters account for much of the weekday demand. The Boat Race starts here each spring, and on that day the riverside closes to traffic, which makes a booked space a few streets back worth having.
