Guided Walk: Tooting’s Migrant Heritage

The Tooting-Wandsworth area of south-west London is rich in history and the contribution of migrants dates back centuries to the arrival of French Huguenots. As its expanding population saw it turn from a village to a suburb, a wave of Jewish tailoring businesses saw Tooting High Street flourish. Over the last seventy years the arrival of a migrant population helped rebuild a shattered post-war country, whether
through constructing homes, staffing London Transport and the newly-formed NHS or introducing their music and cuisine.

This walk is provided free to the public as part of London Unseen, thanks to funding from the Mayor of London’s Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.
