About Tooting Commons
Tooting Commons is a beautiful and expansive park located in the heart of South West London. Spread over approximately 200 acres, this stunning sanctuary offers an unrivaled escape from the hustle and bustle of city life that surrounds it. Nestled amongst the leafy and picturesque suburbs of Tooting and Streatham, Tooting Commons offers a profound sense of tranquility and relaxation that is hard to find in other areas of the city.
The park is split into two distinct sections; Tooting Bec Common and Tooting Graveney Common, both of which are open to the public throughout the year. Although they may differ in size and landscape, both of these sections are equally as stunning and boast a range of features that make them a must-visit destination for anyone looking for an oasis in London.
Tooting Bec Common is the larger of the two, and offers plenty of open grassland and meadows, perfect for leisurely strolls, picnics or simply lounging in the sun. It is also home to the iconic Tooting Bec Lido, one of the largest open-air swimming pools in London, which is open from May to September. In addition to this, Tooting Bec Common also offers various sports facilities such as tennis and football.
Tooting Graveney Common, on the other hand, is a more naturalistic area with lush greenery and woodland. It is the perfect place to escape from the world and immerse yourself in nature. It even boasts a charming community garden, managed by local volunteers, that grows a range of beautiful plants and vegetables.
Overall, Tooting Commons is a wonderful and unique space that provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, without having to venture too far from the city center. So, whether you are looking for a place to relax, play sports, or take a dip in the lido, Tooting Commons has something for everyone.

Reviews of Tooting Commons
"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"
"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."
