2 HRS AGO - With outdoor organised sport soon to resume, we thought we'd shine a light on some of the fantastic local sports team and groups that you might like to get involved with over the coming months.
And for those of you who love your football, but perhaps don't want to go so far as joining a team, then local community football MeetUp group, Terrible Football @terrible_football could be for you! They organise free, weekend casual kickabouts on both Tooting and Clapham Common, open to both men and women with ranging abilities. As they say on their MeetUp page:
"At Terrible Football, anyone can play (18+): any ability, and any gender. Terrible Football is about miss kicked clearances, sweet half volleys and desperate diving saves. We play in the rain, sun or snow. It's completely free, and always will be. It's open, inclusive and Terrible. All sessions are on grass and its advisable to wear studs in the wet season.
The club is part of a bigger global franchise and operates in Amsterdam, Collapse

1 DAY AGO - 14 new Clean Air Routes across London – including one in Tooting – have been launched by Cross River Partnership (CRP), as part of the Defra Air Quality grant-funded Clean Air Villages (CAV) programme.
In Tooting, CRP has been working with St George’s Hospital to develop a simple alternative for patients, staff and visitors who are travelling to the hospital from Tooting Broadway Station. Research has shown that using this new Clean Air Route can allow the public to reduce their exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NOX) by almost 40%.

8 HRS AGO - #TootingHistory – Did you know that Tooting was once home to an Olympic double gold medallist?! Railway worker Albert Hill of Trevelyan Road, not long after serving in the First World War, completed an outstanding double at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, winning gold in both the 800 and 1500 metres. The feat of Hill’s double gold win would not be replicated by another British athlete until Dame Kelly Holmes at the 2004 Olympics. Despite his triumphant athletic career, Hill did not embrace the celebrity lifestyle and returned after the Games to work as a ticket collector at London Bridge Station. Nevertheless, Albert Hill remains a local legend in our books!
You can learn more about the extraordinary life of Albert Hill from local historian Geoff Simmons, on one of his brilliant self-guided local history tours. You can find the ‘Albert Hill’s Tooting Gold’ tour via Geoff’s website link in his bio @summerstown182 Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - #NEWTOTOOTING – Greig @greighowitt has launched a new bottled cocktail delivery service, GH Drinks, handcrafting original cocktails every week in his Tooting kitchen, before bottling them and cycling them around London!
Greig tells us, "After being furloughed from Hawksmoor at the start of lockdown, I was forced to bring my creativity home and began creating a lot more cocktails. I really miss not being able to share new ideas, flavours and drinks with people, so I decided to start bottling some of them and give them to friends and colleagues.
"I’m now making upwards of 50 bottles a week and cycling them to the thirsty people of London! I've also started the “Drink It Forward” scheme with the aim of making someone's day, giving a cocktail to someone who maybe needs something indulgent at the moment, whether it’s someone thats furloughed in hospitality, an out of work hairdresser, a nurse or a mum and dad homeschooling their young ones."
Each new batch of cocktails are released Collapse
