Tooting is a railway station serving Tooting in South London; it is within Travelcard Zone 3.

The station is served by Thameslink trains on the Sutton Loop Line.
History
The station opened in 1894 as Tooting Junction, replacing an earlier station of the same name, which was located a few hundred yards west and had opened in 1868. It was renamed Tooting in 1938, following the closure of the branch line from Tooting to Merton Park to passenger traffic in 1929.
Prior to the introduction of Thameslink services it was served by the London Bridge loop trains via Wimbledon.
