I’m on a the hunt for a great library in South West London. Merton’s libraries seem to be woefully inadequate and I long for a massive library with a big selection of books like Sutton or West Norwood Library (both of which are excellent). Ideally they should be a bike ride away from Tooting/Colliers Woo...

I’ve just escaped from another borough and Tooting Broadway has kindly given me refugee status. Saying ‘hi’ to my neighbours seems to have startled them a bit, but maybe they’re just shy, I dunno. I’m going to persevere though, and want to get to know the locals a bit better, ‘cos...

A Google search on London Lidos throws up a fair bit of stuff – mostly about how all the lidos are either closing, have already closed or are struggling to stay open.

Yo! I haven’t spent much time of the logistics or economics of this, BUT…. How do so many shops selling identical produce survive? I’m sure there are thousands of examples around but fried chicken and “corner shops” spring to mind as the cliched, obvious ones. On the 4 minute ...

Let’s face it anybody who’s stuck this end of the Northern Line has plenty of reading time and we must all love discussing stuff or we wouldn’t be here in the first place. So, who else is up for it? Salope, Gillrick and Fluffle are you still interested? I reckon we need about 3 of 4 more to start w...

Tooting has just been bestowed with a rather dubious title—the UK’s worst place for ID fraud. It’s not just a little more likely that your identity, credit and good name will be stolen from SW17, it’s a whole five times more likely than the UK average. Read More
