Reasons Buyers are Choosing Tooting Over Balham and other local area’s
Balham has long been the darling of South West London — but in recent years, Tooting has quietly outpaced it in desirability. Why?
Here’s what buyers are seeing in Tooting:
Greater value for money: Larger homes, more outdoor space, and stylish conversions for less per square foot.
Independent spirit: From Tooting Market to award-winning curry houses — it’s creative, diverse, and unpretentious.
Strong transport links: Two Northern Line stations, fast overground options, and reliable bus routes.
Authenticity: Tooting still feels like a lived-in, loved community — not just another commuter hub.
Property potential: With ongoing regeneration and increasing demand, it’s a smart long-term move.
