Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

28 Jun 2023This route is not very far from where I live and the walk across the common is a much nicer alternative than walking down Balham High St. The common is festooned with long uncut grass and it feels you could be in the countryside. The common can get busy with everyone over the weekend. The route past the athletics track and into Furzedown is very accessible and delivers the walker to Tooting Bec station passing various amenities.

12 May 2022Pleasant route through Tooting Bec commons, but defo not the most direct! The walk from Tooting Broadway to Balham via the high street is interesting, chaotic and colourful and passes by many hidden spaces including the market, a sewing machine museum and some great indian and pakistani restaurants!.

13 May 2021A very pleasant route for both walking & cycling, largely over Tooting Bec Common. It takes the shortest way across the common, but there are plenty of other paths.

27 Apr 2021 (edited 27 Jun 2023)This definitely a pleasant route as urban routes go, but far from the most direct.
