This is the northernmost part of Tooting Bec Common. The 'Bec' comes from the historic link to Bec Abbey in Normandy. The road on the left is Emmanuel Road and the railway line between Balham and Streatham Hill is beyond the trees to the right. The railway line on its embankment in fact effectively makes this part totally separate from the rest of the Common.
