Hi All,

@Sommerstown182, an organisation that tells the stories of the local community, have created a great Black History Cycle Trail around Tooting for Black History Month.

The route was developed this summer inspired by Black Lives Matters and the drive to reconsider how we are retelling history. The route highlights numerous sites of historical importance across Tooting.

The route is available here as a pdf with lots of information about the sites

Alex Hill has very kindly created a gpx file of the route as well.Helpfully starting at the Tooting Bec Common Cafe - great spot for a piece of cake afterwards.

It's 8.9 miles so you may prefer to do the route as a run.

If you do complete this great route please observe Covid-19 guidance.

If you enjoy the ride you can show your appreciation to Sommerstown182 by donating to their campaign to raise funds for a Blue Plaque to celebrate Tootings forgotten musical history. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/toots-musical-roots

Enjoy!
