Great little place to go on a walk and feed some ducks (pigeons).
Great green space. Good for a walk with the dog , a coffee in the cafe or a game of tennis on the courts. Watch the birds around the water or play on the kids playground. Busy but a great space.
I really like Tooting Common, it has so many different places to visit. I like to go and sit next to the lake and watch the wildlife, the Ducks, Swans and Terrapins to name but a few. There is the Triangle, which has no roads on any sides. Two really nice playground for the kids, one in the Triangle for older kids and one opposite the lake for the younger ones. There are Tennis Courts, a Running Track that also has a Gym, the running track has seating for spectators. There is a nice Cafe, with seating inside and out. The famous Lido, one of the biggest outdoor swimming pools in the UK, if not Europe (but don't quote me on that ????). And also the woods for walks on hot summer days to get some shade from the sun. There is a cricket pitch and football pitches where teams come to play at the weekend. I visit this common several times a week, for walks and runs, and am so glad I live close to it.
Emerald Enchantment:
Sprawling Serenity: The sheer size of the common is astounding. Lush lawns sprawl endlessly, offering ample space for picnicking, sunbathing, or simply stretching out under the open sky. It's a true escape from the city's bustle.
Nature's Symphony: Birdsong serenades your every step, and gentle breezes rustle through the leaves, creating a symphony of natural sounds. Tooting Commons feels alive, breathing fresh air into your lungs and your soul.
Family Playground: From the bustling playground filled with squeals of laughter to the serene lake teeming with ducks, the common caters to all ages. It's a picture-perfect spot for family fun and creating lasting memories.
As expected, the Spring makes this place absolutely outstanding. The smell of blossoming trees...oh my days. I always go back thdre when i have a chance. I had one recently...and boom I went straight down under the heavy green , being hidden under a blanlet of wonderful wildlife . All that only possible in this amazing place. I never waste a chance to be a guest there. Thanks so much for having all ready to enjoy a miracle of freedom ! Milion kisses is not enough!!
Definitely biased but personally my favourite green space in London. It was a life-saver during the summer of 2020 and always has a good atmosphere on warm summer evenings. Also good for exercise in the morning and sunrise can occasionally be spectacular.
Essential green space in Tooting. Big open areas plus a pond, a few thickets, the lido on one side, tennis courts and a cafe. Good for running, cycling, sport generally and spotting parakeets.
Great Park in South London with tennis and a little pond. Great for runners and good for cyclists !
