Tooting is home to people from all over the world, many of who have started businesses in the area.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve kept our eyes peeled for as many different national flags as we could spot, that represent the fantastic diversity of our area. 

If you spot any different national flags that you think we’ve missed, be sure to let us know so we can feature them too! Email share@tootingdailyprss.co.uk or tag us in on social media!
