The Waldorf School of South West London opened in September 1983, with one student and one teacher.

For nearly 40 years, the school provided Steiner Waldorf education in South London.

The school was situated on Tooting Common, on public land rented from Wandsworth Council until 2010.

The school moved temporarily back into the Church Hall in Streatham for a further two years, before the present site of 9 Weir Road in Balham was found.

The school also provided indoor and outdoor Parent and Child Groups (0–3 years old).
