There's no better time to take a closer look at wonderful 'Planet Tooting' south west London SW17, the jewel in Wandsworth 'London Borough of Culture 2025' than at the peak of the alphonso mango season when a river of gold stretches along Upper Tooting Road! The Tooting-Wandsworth area of south-west London is rich in history and the contribution of migrants dates back centuries to the arrival of French Huguenots

As its expanding population saw it turn from a village to a suburb, a wave of Jewish tailoring businesses saw Tooting High Street flourish. Over the last seventy years the arrival of a migrant population from South Asia, East Africa and the Caribbean helped rebuild a shattered post-war country, whether constructing houses, staffing London transport or populating the newly-formed NHS. The Walk features the streets that shaped Sadiq Khan, St George's Hospital, two outstanding indoor markets and a spectacular array of eateries and shops.
