The Boathouses on Putney Embankment are well served by public transport. The property is approximately half a mile from Putney Bridge Underground Station (District Line) and Putney Rail Station (South West Trains), and several buses stop nearby. Limited off-street parking is available on the site.
The property is within walking distance of good riverside pubs and local restaurants, and the lively shopping streets of Lower Richmond Road and Putney High Street.
The ground floor of the building is partly occupied by the workshop and offices of a Thames waterman. Before the construction of the nearby Putney Bridge, watermen provided the ferry crossing that connected Richmond Park with London, and today they continue to add to the vibrant diversity of the waterside community. Local events include the celebrated annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race which starts immediately downstream from this property.
