Putney is often said to be home to two very distinct worlds - one of city workers and labourers, who are born in the home counties, or maybe travelling overseas from from South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Poland... - they work and play hard. Then there's the other set - the countrified urbanites who stroll along the river, cycle through the green commons, and put the world of Putney to-rights with local friends in riverside pubs and well-healed eateries. Now of course, this isn't strictly the truth. We're just playing devils' advocate here. But, do you think you know what makes Putney the vibrant and international community is it?
