Tooting has been listed in the Top 10 coolest neighbourhoods in the world (!)  by Lonely Planet travel guide: <br />"Tooting has developed into an uber-cool neighbourhood and lost none of its gritty charm in the process. Rubbing shoulders with perfectly pleasant yet slightly square Wimbledon, Earlsfield and Balham,  Tooting is a more captivating affair, revelling in multiculturalism and originality. <br /><br />Its high street which stretches between two Tube stations, is one of the best ‘curry corridors’ in the country, and contains some superb South Asian restaurants, like Dosa n Chutny and Apollo Banana Leaf. <br />The best shopping can be found inside eclectic Tooting Market, and quirky bars and pubs include The Castle, The Antelope and The Little Bar. The Tooting Commons create over 200 acres of green space between them, and are home to Tooting Bec Lido – the largest swimming pool in the United Kingdom".
Love living in Tooting but my dream escape place is the Scottish Highlands... I love the wildness, the drama of the sky, the lochs and the glens. I try to go at least once a year, staying in different B&Bs. But trying something different this summer - my friend bought a camper van (she called him Ralph...) so will see how Ralph works out......!
