Recorded before the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II this film is about Tremendous Planet Tooting as it's known, which has so much interesting history and culture and is full of cool shops, restaurants and markets.
The Castle Pub Tooting where Motorhead played with Girlschool amongst many other like Status Quo. Buy gigantic snails in Tooting Market where there's also an array of all sorts of international food and bars.
Flower Power to the people! Everyone remembers Citizen Smith outside Tooting Broadway Station but did you know about the Daffodil King, Peter Barr? Or the youngest soldier in World War , aged twelve?!
What about the Wimpy where Marc Bolan flipped burgers or Mary Millington's sex emporium?
Mixed Blessings bakery where Bob Marley wrote his name on the wall and numerous reggae artists recorded music on Mitcham Road.
The chapel where Daniel Defoe hid out and the cemetery where Charlie Chaplin's dad was buried in an ummarked grave.
Also the Dr Hunter who kept all sorts of specimens of people like the Irish giant Charles Byrne.
Plus amazing food, Mangoes and Pooja brilliant confectionary and samosas!
Long live the king!

You may or not know that Florence Nightingale occupied the top floor of The Lanesborough Hotel for treating wounded soldiers, and that the building had an extra floor added to the top of the building for her. It is well documented, as is the fact that I believe that the hotel is the only one in London that has a 'Tube' entrance right outside it's front door. Also it's servants STILL will go out and drive in a Bentley at any time to get it's residents anything they fancy from the local bakery or any other store nearby. The chauffeur driven Bentley is also available for it's guests to use any time they fancy!! Well I never Joolz. "Tally Ho!" 😂😂😂

Back in my younger days, had not long left school in 1962. I was standing at a bus stop with some lady, when a bus came along she asked the bus conductor (remember them) if this was a tooting bus, he answered without any hesitation "No madam it goes honk honk". Funny how some things always stick in your memory. Made laugh at the time and still does.

Ahhhh that was a wonderful watch!!! My parents came and settled in Tooting Broadway from Jamaica in the sixties. I was born in St George's hospital Tooting in 1965 and lived right opposite for my first 25 years of life. I was treated at the Hyde Park branch of the hospital and remember the original gates being installed at the Tooting site. I remember the original Grenada theater we composed a song to save the building from bring turned into a bingo house. My school was Sellincourt primary not at all far from Trevelyan road. The whole area of Tooting is full of history and lovely memories for myself and family. I loved Robert Lyndsey I used to come out the station and shout Power to the People ✊🏿.... this was an excellent episode that captured the diversity and magic that is still our Broadway. I'll be popping up there in a little while as I didn't venture too far away, I'm now residing in sunny Balham gateway to the south but I will always have the Broadway in my heart. Thank you so much watching this made my day. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🌟💫🌟

Tooting has changed so much since I used to go there from the mid 70s into the mid 90s! At one time it was even a Christmas shopping destination for my family, back when it still had the likes of Woolworths, British Home Stores, Littlewoods, Marks and Sparks etc., and the markets were filled with proper stalls and not the little trendy cafés, bars and restaurants that exist there nowadays. Interesting though that I was in Pooja's just two weeks ago buying some Indian sweets for a friend's birthday (plus a few for myself!), and was served by the same bloke you interviewed. 😊

I will agree with his tone though, Tooting has not really changed for the better but at least it isn't Streatham* which is now the capital of machete attacks in London *Streatham is ~1.5mi from Tooting Broadway or a ~20min bus ride away off-peak to St. Leonard's Church.

You replied "that's deep in the south" and I thought it wasn't on your radar. Thankfully you came and despite living in Tooting for over 40 years, I learned tons of new stuff. Thanks.

Lovely to see you south of the River, Jools. In the 1950s we used to live in Streatham and Streatham Hill, so we were always aware of Tooting even if we didn’t go there much. But somehow it’s stamped on my memory and seeing what it’s like now is delightful. Possibly not so much in winter. Still, London’s cosmopolitan nature is essential to its character and a vital part of what makes it the greatest city on earth. Although I don’t fancy the snail soup much. If you feel like doing the slightly more nobby south, how about a bit of Dulwich, then over to the Horniman’s Museum, and maybe down to Forest ‘Ill (to which we moved in the 60s)? I’m an old geezer now in New Zealand with not enough dough, but sometimes I dream of going back to my old haunts for a month or three. Your videos are a splendid reminder for me.

Great to see you cover my neighbourhood. I grew up here and went to St Anselms school, my old headmaster Mr Gately took us around the neighbourhood, we got into the Bingo Hall, really glad to see it in this video. unbelievable building, formerly the Granada Theatre, plays and films, then became a concert hall, the last ever concert there was the Bee Gees in the 70s. quite a few classic cinemas in tooting, not a lot to show, but on the corner of fircroft and upper tooting road there was also another old cinema, The Central Hall Cinema (later called the classic), built in 1911. It's now a banqueting Hall..

I was born at 18 Pevensey road just behind St George's hospital and went to Smallwood primary school and what was then Ernest Bevin secondary school. You are correct about Zans snooker hall and the big cinema was the "Mayfair". You missed the site of the smaller 'Classic" cinema on the other side of the road towards Tooting Bec. To the left of the old site of the Wimpy used to be the Tooting Baths (not swimming baths). The stature of the King used to be in the middle of the main road outside Tooting Broadway station with public toilets underneath. My late dad George used to know Geoff Simmons and i'vemet him myself. A very nice bloke he is too. 👍

Hi Joolz, I really can't stop watching your videos; you are much more than excellent! you manage to include most of the things that I love on your shows, history, general interest, music curiosities, food, pubs and much much more! and at the same time you are so entertaining; my only problem is that when it comes to older shows I'm not sure which order to follow; if you have any suggestions regarding the best order to watch the past shows I will follow it as I don't mind to see all over again all the ones that I've already seen; keep up the great work; you are truly the best! no tv show comes close! But one thing truly shocked me in this episode; its the bingo hall; that place should be transformed once again into a theatre; what a gem! but why it's not being used as a theatre?? it should be visited by loads of tourists; thank you so much for showing us this incredible place and all the other places we discover because of you!

I remember Chelsea Girl boutique, Tooting market, and huge Grenada theatre, where Cliff Richard was on stage with musicians and his parents, and gave a sermon to local schools. The other cinema showed Saturday morning films to children. The freezing Lido, Tooting Common where there's fossilised trees, and St George's hospital, I think used to be a mental hospital, would have been interesting.

Marc Bolan also lived in Stoke Newington where he went to school there - Britney Spear's ancestors are also from Stokey too. Princess Anne was born in the original St. George's Hospital - I was told and not at the nearby Clarence House as rumoured. St George's was leased from the Grovesnor Estate to the NHS for an annual stripend of just £1. It would have been nice if more attention was paid to the Tooting Bec Lido. During the Eighties it was a hotspot for many bands such as Wham! and ABC and nearly became a location for a Bond Movie!

Hello Joolz. Thank you for another relaxing and informative stroll around the city I'll never see but will always call home. I don't know how many greats ago my people came the US but I've never forgotten where they came here from. I watch enthralled as you show me around, and tell me the histories of my people that I wasn't taught in American schools. I even re-watch your vids to sooth me to sleep but only after paying close attention the first time through. Cheerio!

I grew up in Tooting Grove. If we were in the sweet shop & Mary Millington came in to get her cigarettes...WE HIT THE JACKPOT! She would say "oh my darlings get whatever you want", often telling us to pick up more.
