Clapham

Clapham seems wealthier than its neighboring Brixton, but the atmosphere has some similarities. Nice pubs, parks and restaurants. There aren't that many sights in Clapham, but there are nice places to visit. This is a nice residential area close to Brixton's nightlife, where you can also enjoy the nature.

Fulham

Fulham is a lot shabbier than it's neighboring Chelsea, although some fancier areas can be found near Fulham Palace. Rows of regular London houses and few pubs here and there. The proximity of the Thames gives it a good location, when it comes to jogging. Fulham has a suburban feel even though it's quite close to the city centre.

Kew

Kew is a nice, but very upper class neighbourhood close to Richmond. The area is mostly known for enormous botanical gardens, but the small village around it is nice and worth a visit. When I visited here, there were stalls on the street selling delicious pastries, flowers etc. They also had a few nice looking cafés and restaurants.
