Hole in the wall ice cream. When the Italians came to London they were selling ice cream. This place makes ice cream for the ice cream vans and sells ice cream out of their window. Or you can sit down next door at Capitan Corelli. This is an ordinary ice cream place. It is genuinely authentic "gelato" and not the reimagined hipster, Italian snob product.

Jordanian ice cream shop. They freeze the ice cream in front of you from liquids. They make a lot of strange and interesting flavours. It's fresher and more natural than the "gelato" places and adds theatre to the high price of your ice cream.

Tooting has a wide variety of Indian Restaurants. South Indian, Mughal, Goan, Bengali, pretty much everything. This is where established Indians go to eat as well as the ordinary Indian community. I recommend choosing something here much more than going to Brick Lane for an ordinary British Bengali curry. https://www.zomato.com/london/tooting-restaurants/indian

Iconic local bridge, a five minute walk away. Feature in many films, tv shows and adverts. it's a cantilever suspension bridge, built on the same model as Tower Bridge - but they changed it during construction to reduce the size and not allow it to open. Along with Tower Bridge; it's one of only two cantilever suspension bridge. You can think of it as the little sister to Tower Bridge.
