What you need to know about Tooting

Tooting

A settlement that has been in existence since pre-Saxon times, Tooting is a vibrant residential district situated within the London Borough of Wandsworth. Its name is believed to be of Anglo-Saxon origin which may have referred to ‘the people of the lookout place’, due to the watchtower which may have been erected on the area leading up on the road to London. Dubbed as one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods by an acclaimed travel guide, it boasts an extensive selection of vibrant indie shops, stylish cafes and pubs, great South Asian restaurants as well as a bustling market along Mitcham Road. This multicultural district also features a wide array of residential properties including well-preserved Victorian terraced houses, red-brick Edwardian homes, spacious detached and semi-detached houses as well as stylish converted cottages and contemporary apartments. Tooting is just an hour away from the city centre via A24 and is serviced by Tooting Railway Station.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Tooting

For many Tooting residents, the efficient but sometimes costly services offered by waste removal companies can be replaced by solutions provided by the local council. Residents only need to take a short 14-minute drive via Garratt Lane to reach a civic amenity site located at Smugglers Way SW18 1JS. This facility operates from 9 am to 4 pm during weekdays and opens an hour earlier during weekends, until 6 pm on Saturdays and 5 pm on Sundays, and accepts most types of domestic waste apart from hazardous waste and liquids. However, it should be noted that while DIY waste is accepted it can only be disposed of for a minimum of £114. The same restrictions apply to the other amenity site at Cringle St, Nine Elms, just 30 minutes away via route A24. This facility operates 24/7 which is perfect for residents who cannot find time to tip during the day, however, only residents arriving in vans are accommodated at the site. Saturdays are best avoided as this is the busiest time which means waiting for queue lines to clear. In order to avoid this inconvenience, residents are advised to visit the facility website and check its real-time webcam recording to gauge the wait time at certain periods. The best time to go is usually in the morning and during office hours.
