Tooting

Over the weekend, I took a tour of Tooting-a part of South London. And yes, it's pronounced the way it looks. It's supposedly named for the old Saxon word for Watch Tower.

The churchyard of St Nicholas's church
The graveyard-one of the few churches I've seen in London where they haven't dug the graves up-probably because it's not in Central London

The back of St Nicholas-built in the 1840s, though a church has been there since the 1600s

The Tooting Library

A row of Terraced houses-typical for South London
