Totterdown Street: A New Landmark for Tooting


 
Exciting changes are coming to Tooting’s Totterdown Street! As part of a pilot scheme designed to enhance the town centre’s charm and support local businesses, Totterdown Street is about to undergo a stunning transformation. The new look will not only improve the aesthetics of the area but also provide a vibrant space for the community to gather and enjoy.

A New Pedestrian Paradise

The heart of this transformation is the pedestrianisation of Totterdown Street between Saint Cyprian’s Street and Blakenham Road. No longer just a road for vehicles, this section will be turned into a pedestrian-friendly zone, offering a peaceful environment where people can walk, relax, and enjoy the surroundings without the disruption of traffic.

Imagine sitting outdoors in a beautiful public space, surrounded by greenery, with the scent of freshly cooked food wafting through the air. The new street layout will feature tables and chairs for people to relax and enjoy this outdoor setting, providing a perfect spot for lunch, a coffee break, or simply a place to watch the world go by.

Introducing the Totterdown Street Artisan Market

One of the most exciting features of the new Totterdown Street is the introduction of the Artisan Market. Running every Friday to Sunday from 12 PM to 5:30 PM, this market is set to become a local highlight. The market will be a treasure trove of food, crafts, and produce, showcasing the best of what local vendors have to offer.

Whether you’re a foodie looking to explore new flavors, a lover of handmade crafts, or simply someone who enjoys supporting local businesses, the Totterdown Street Artisan Market has something for everyone. You’ll find everything from freshly baked goods to unique artisanal crafts, making it the perfect destination for a weekend outing.

Green Spaces and Community Events

The new market space won’t just be about shopping. With colorful planters filled with shrubs and bushes, the area will be lush with greenery, creating a pleasant environment for visitors. Seating areas will be dotted around, encouraging people to sit down, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere.

But that’s not all. The market will also host various events throughout the year, turning Totterdown Street into a lively hub of activity. From food tastings to craft workshops, there will always be something happening to engage and entertain the community.

Get Involved and Stay Updated

This pilot scheme is just the beginning. Over the next 12 months, the local council will be listening to feedback from residents and businesses to decide whether these changes should be made permanent. Your voice matters, so be sure to participate in the online consultation.
