Great function room for parties and meetings as well as delicious food all year round. Weekends always have a great vibe which makes it my local.

An amazing restaurant for brunch or dinner, serving dishes from all over the world. The ribs are fantastic!

One of the busiest markets in the South West, Tooting Market injects life and diversity to the already vibrant Tooting Broadway area. We're always talking about the property market, this is the real market we should be raving about!

Great coffee and food in the heart of Tooting Market.

The best fish and chips in South London, right on Tooting High Street.

A really nice café for lunch or a quick coffee with friends. They serve Mediterranean-style food and breakfasts until 5pm on the weekends.

Jump off the tube at Tooting Broadway and straight to the bar! The beer garden is amazing. Definitely one of the best pubs in Tooting and South London.

Awesome place for a burger and definitely some of the best in London.

A 300 year old Young's pub, with an amazing beer garden voted the biggest in South London. They've got an amazing burger shack open all summer long, live music, and private hire spaces for all occasions.

Tooting is family-friendly and safe. You have everything here on your doorstep.
Alex
Great community feel with loads of small business activity in the indoor market.
Shahin
So many good places to eat out and a great atmosphere in the evenings and weekends.
Shannon
Attractive terraces and a wide selection of places to eat out.

An underrated gem sandwiched between 2 beautiful commons and close to one of my favourite restaurants, Chez Bruce. I was living in Earlsfield and was never able to get on the first train that comes, but in Tooting Bec, I can usually get on the first train.

I love vast Tooting Bec Common just on my doorstep. It is so convenient for kids, with its two playgrounds, duck pond and little cafe, not to mention the lido. Tooting Bec Underground Station is just a short walk away with its direct access to the city and West End. I love the many shops and fantastic food joints, not to mention the two markets. There are lots of baby playgroups around and some very good schools. I love the atmosphere when I walk down the high street. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Tooting Bec Common on a Sunday morning, fresh fruit smoothies from Tooting Market, amazing restaurants, live music in the local pubs, the lido in summer and the fabulous melting pot of its constituents. Tooting has been burning a fire for years but now the heat is palpable. I love it!
Lou
Very conveniently located for transport links, but not too busy either with some lovely cafes and restaurants around. I much prefer it to its neighbours on the Northern line.
Ben
I love Tooting Bec because of how diverse the community is yet it is so accepting of everyone. Walking home, I pass a phone store and a butchers and we always greet each other despite me never having purchased anything from there. The area is filled with so many things to do and has really good transport links with Balham only being a 10 minute walk away. It really is so convenient! It's not the trendiest part of London but I've never felt unsafe here.
Hayley
Open and airy yet still feels like you're close to London.
Colin
Lovely community feel and lots of older settled families and also lots of young professionals couples and families moving in. Tooting has long been the hidden gem in London.

Northern line takes you straight to the centre of London and, being just before busy Balham and Clapham, you actually get a seat. You also have an Overground rail option just down from Balham. Vast open green parks with tennis courts and the largest lido in the country. Great curry houses just around the corner in Tooting Broadway and, if you have a car, just a short drive from beautiful places such as Richmond, Wimbledon, etc. Finally, the council is around the most efficient in the country with among the lowest tax rates. Tooting Bec pretty much has it all.
David
Young professionals and families moving in. New bars and restaurants opening, turning Tooting into an increasingly trendy place.
Local resident
I like living in Tooting because of Tooting Bec Common and the leafy oak trees, and above all else the quiet.

I love Tooting because of Tooting Bec Common and Wigmore Lawn Tennis Club.
