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.

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.

One of London’s many celebrated large spaces of park and woodland that offer respite from the city. Tooting Bec Common and Tooting Graveney Common stretch from Balham, Streatham and Tooting, although the common land once stretched as far as Mitcham. The area also includes a pond, park cafe, lido and stadium. The boundary between the two commons is called Doctor Johnson Avenue and originally a country path Samuel Johnson is reputed to have regularly walked while visiting Hester Thrale, Welsh-born diarist, author and patron of the arts. In 2017 there was a proposal to close the road and grass it over, but was surprisingly rejected by 70% of respondents. If you found my review or photos interesting please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

Great Park in South London with tennis and a little pond. Great for runners and good for cyclists !

Nice park, free parking, playground, ice cream, coffee shop and more. Great place to enjoy a relaxing day.

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!!

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.

I visited here in March 2022 as part of walking the Capital Ring. This is a large and reasonably flatly open area with lots of areas to explore

Best places to run into the area, walking dog, fishing, swimming, coffee area. Have something for everyone

Huge and beautiful park, well-kept park with an excellent location. It has a varied playground for children, tennis courts and other sports, nice trackingways for running, areas of trees with forest, cafe shop, many commemorative benches, and a beautiful lake with very welcoming birds. Without a doubt, a wonderful park 😍

Had coffee and cake and sat outside in the cold but brilliant sunshine. So love the Woodland Pavillion cafe 😍

Great park! I loved all the birds and water fowl. Nice place to bring your dog to play ball with. You need to beware of other dogs wanting to play with your dog's ball. It was super fun trying to get it back from the adorable beagle who kidnapped it. It's well kept and plenty of benches. The pond is wonderful. Had a great time there.

Wonderful place to go outside, it's like you're out of London and in a magical realm.

Find the really wooded area on the Lambeth Wandsworth borders for a true bit of nature bathing in SW London

Basic common with tennis courts. It is well used for fitness running, football and rugby, cricket practice, local boot camps and the general public. The toilets are open again and now the summer is over the refurbishments of the Lido are nearly complete. There is a small car park for about a hundred cars that fills up quick during the working week by people using tooting beck tube. This will be the first winter with the reconditioned paths and drainage work, fingers crossed.

Peaceful and beautiful walks with variety depending on what you want. Perfect for dog walkers, parents with prams, whatever... Only slightly ruined by the delivery riders now on electric bikes which cause somewhat of a hazard.

Want to play football walk the dog visit the pond, playground, and so much more this is the place

Love coming here. You can find so many options here. Very beautiful park. Great place for dogs.

it's nice and cozy😍🌺👏

Who knew the common could look like this? I walked over by the other side of the pond I'm used to and caught this lovely snap on a dismal day😊

Peaceful, tanquill and acres of space for everyone. Dog heaven lots of woodland to roam. Parking no problem .

lovely place. quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the street

Great place for children for Saturday morning community football. Great location for dog walkers. Runners too. Lovely café's too
