Tooting Bec Common

Access and Facilities

Tooting Bec Common is easily reachable in London, providing disabled access and facilities to accommodate all visitors.

Fishing Conditions

The lakes are shallow with well-managed vegetation, offering overhangs where fish tend to gather. Unlike many park lakes, proper pegs are in place, especially on the main lake where fishing is quite common.

Fishing Tips

Using standard lake tactics such as fishing the waggler can be effective here. Float fishing and experimenting with different baits like small pellets, maggots, or sweetcorn can help attract carp, while worms are suitable for catching perch or bream. Be mindful of ducks when using floating baits in the summer.
