Embrace the Outdoors
Putney’s natural beauty is an ideal backdrop for refreshing outdoor activities. Take a leisurely stroll along the Thames, soaking in the peaceful river views, watching rowers glide by, and enjoying the vibrant wildlife. A brisk walk along the riverbank is not only calming but also a great way to get your steps in.
