Tooting-based property advisor Homes with Chuk, shares what you could buy if you’re looking for more space in the local area...
“This super 3 bedroom home on Streatham Road is just a few minutes walk from Moyser Rd, where you’ll find some brilliant independents, including Next Door Baker. We featured them on Meet The Neighbours earlier this year (go check it out if you missed it) and had the loveliest chat with the ladies behind it, who are going from strength to strength.
“Inside the house, you’ve got space that works hard: an office or gym (take your pick) complete with its own cloakroom, tucked at the rear of a gorgeous south-facing garden. There’s a bright bay-windowed living room, generous bedrooms, and a bathroom with a freestanding tub and separate walk-in shower.
“Add in air conditioning and heated flooring, and this one’s punching well above its price point. Upstairs, there’s also a huge loft with real potential for a further bedroom and en-suite, subject to the necessary permissions of course.
“And the location backs it all up: Tooting (Thameslink), Tooting Broadway tube and Streatham/Streatham Common stations are all close by, plus the Commons for those long dog walks.
“Born and raised in Tooting. Looking after a small handful of homes across Tooting, Balham and Streatham personally.”
Need some property advice? Email Chuk at hello@homeswithchuk.co.uk, call 07940 546 190, or pop into Tooting Works at 89 Bickersteth Road and ask for him at reception!
2 FOR 1 OFFER at Humm London, a nervous system care studio in Merton Abbey Mills (info below).
HUMM London has been created by Jade, a local mum of two whose own experience with anxiety led her to discover just how powerful sound healing and nervous system care can be.
Inside you’ll find immersive sound baths, breathwork, yin yoga, meditation, reiki and deeply restorative experiences, designed to help you slow down, switch off and reconnect with yourself.
Jade tells us, “HUMM was created from my experience with anxiety, leading to a space made with love and care, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to help you feel calmer from the moment you walk through the door.
“Our customers tell us they leave feeling lighter, calmer and more grounded, that they sleep incredibly afterwards, and that HUMM gives them a level of relaxation they struggle to find anywhere else. Many come back again and again.”
✨ And if you’ve never visited HUMM before, you can experience it with someone you love with a 2 FOR 1 offer for new customers. ✨
Book your first session and bring a friend, or have 2 sessions for yourself.
No experience needed. Just come in, get comfortable and let Humm take care of the rest.

Following the sad news that country music icon Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, a reminder that her legacy lives on here in Wandsworth (including Tooting), where every child up to age five can still receive a free book every month through her Imagination Library.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was founded in 1995 by the country music legend to inspire a lifelong love of reading in young children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Young readers can benefit from a completely free, age-appropriate book every month from birth until their fifth birthday. It is open to all children aged 0-5.
The project is supported by funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and delivered by Dolly Parton’s charity, The Dollywood Foundation.
Dolly said of The Imagination Library, “I have always known that if we encourage children to dream, we give them the chance to live those dreams. Having books at home is the perfect way to open a child’s mind to a world of imagination, and I am so proud that my Imagination Library has reached so many children over the years.
“Now children living in your community will receive the gift of reading. I hope that we’ll soon grow the programme to reach many more children and inspire a love of reading that will last a lifetime.”
More info, including how to register, via Wandsworth Council.
Farewell, Dolly. You’ll be much missed, but your legacy lives on!
