Tooting is located to the south of the city centre and has Mitcham, Wimbledon, Morden and Streatham as neighbours, bringing extremely good transport links to the City. Despite attracting many young professionals to the area in recent times due to its greater affordability in comparison to neighbouring Clapham and Wandsworth, it is still best described as 'up and coming' rather than being a place of choice.

South London’s Tooting may not strike one as being a hotbed of activity, however there is more to the suburb than initially may meet the eye. Tooting Commons (which consists of two large green spaces divided by Doctor Johnson’s Avenue) contains a mixture of woodland and grassland, and is home to the Tooting Bec Lido, with a 90 metre long swimming pool, and Tooting Bec Athletics Track. The high street is nothing to write home about with a mixture of high street shops, supermarkets and travel agents, however there is an abundance of Indian eateries should you fancy a takeaway curry.
