Tooting sits firmly in the wedge of South London between Balham and Mitcham, defined largely by the straightforward run of the A24 and its two Northern Line stations. It’s a place that feels established and functional rather than polished, built up significantly during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods when the underground first arrived. At its heart are the two distinct markets - Tooting Market and Broadway Market - which have pivoted from traditional grocery stalls to include a huge variety of independent international food spots without losing their utilitarian character. Geographically, the area is anchored by the vast, flat expanse of Tooting Common to the north, which is home to the famous 90-metre lido, one of the oldest open-air pools in the country. Life here tends to revolve around the "Broadway" and the many South Asian restaurants that have given the area its reputation for world-class curry, but away from the main thoroughfare, the streets quickly settle into quiet, red-brick residential terraces and clusters of local pubs.
