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.

23 Apr 2024A good walk down residential streets from Balham to Tooting. Not the most direct route between town centres but a quiet pleasure in spring and summer when the front gardens are in full flower and the streets tell a story of Victorian/Edwardian urban sprawl. Calm and quiet roads on the Balham side become busier on the approach to Tooting Broadway as drivers look for shortcuts to avoid the busy A24 Upper Tooting Road.

12 May 2022A quiet route from Tooting to Balham through via residential back roads. If you prefer to avoid the crowds then this is route is for you! The walk from Tooting Broadway to Balham via the high street is in my opinion more interesting, colourful, lively and direct!.

14 Mar 2022A quiet route through residential streets between Balham and Tooting Broadway. It doesn't include any of the local green space, but this is so that you don't have to walk on the main road for very long. Generally accessible and feels safe. Visit Tooting Marker or Broadway Market for food, drink, and produce. You can also go into Tooting Market for toilet facilities.
