A direct and enjoyable route between Tooting Broadway and Earlsfield! I passed my old secondary school on this one. There's lot of green spaces along the way, including Wandsworth Cemetery, which is beautiful. There are benches inside in case you want to have a break. As a local I think it's the best route to get to Earlsfield.

Good, direct route between Tooting Broadway and Earlsfield. The main road is a bit busy, but the pavement is wide and good. It also includes a bit of green space and interesting bits like Streatham Cemetery and the Earlsfield Public Library.

A straightforward direct route, which was fairly pleasant despite some of it being along a main road, because it wasn’t too busy. There was a small section through a park, parched after a heatwave. There were also several interesting buildings, nice housing, and ghost signs to add interest.

I walked from Tooting to Earlsfield.
A hot day but a reasonable amount of shade. Some nice architecture , and the Streatham Cemetery is worth a visit if you have time.
Garratt Green was Garratt Brown after the scorching weather but a welcome open space. Again worth a wander if you're not in a hurry.
Good for wheels. Flat, no steps (but curbs), and paved all the way.

Very straightforward and direct Slow Way which I started from Tooting on a sunny Saturday. The route follows pavement predominantly with a brief burst of greenery on Garratt Green. It was here that I witnessed a hurling team practicing. Only one road and that was the crossing shortly before Garratt Green that needed much mind at all. Well plotted, direct, safe and makes use of limited offroad options. A fine Slow Way.

I walked this route from Tooting to Earlsfield. There's three parts to the route - a stretch with a good distance along a larger busier road with good pavements, a stretch through the lovely Garratt Green, and a brief walk along a quieter residential street on the way to Earlsfield.

Overall, it's a very good route and one I'd happily recommend. It's safe, easy to navigate, accessible, direct, and as green as it could probably be. Definitely would walk again!.

Direct route from station to station, brief amble across the green. Quickest and most flat route between Tooting Broadway and Earlsfield station.
Misses the lower part of Earlsfield 'centre', if you wanted more than just end to end, but is off the main roads as much as possible.

Pavements are good, route is direct, some busy roads but not too bad.
