Tooting Bec
Wandsworth, London
Tooting Bec sits between Balham and Tooting, centred on Tooting Bec Common and the long parade of Tooting High Road. Nine listed buildings include the Grade II Church of All Saints, Grade II St Anselm's Convent School and the Grade II King's Head Public House. Tooting Bec Common at twenty-nine hectares anchors a 33-hectare green footprint; on its southern edge sits Tooting Bec Lido, one of Britain's oldest open-air pools — opened in 1906 as the Tooting Bathing-Lake, it remains the largest fresh-water swimming pool by surface area in the UK. Schools are strong with forty-three outstanding nearby, and public-transport access is good at 4 via Tooting Bec Northern line and Balham mainline. Food venues run to 110. The drawbacks are safety, which sits slightly below the median given the high-street pull, air pollution which is moderate, and market affordability which is tight.
