About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Upper Tooting Road at Kellino Street continues the calmer, residential character found further along this stretch of the A24, a fair distance now from the retail intensity of Tooting Broadway itself. Its steady, unremarkable character is honestly one of its more useful qualities for anyone trying to plan a predictable journey through Tooting. useful mainly as confirmation that the wider Tooting corridor is behaving normally. Live traffic monitoring on A24 means you can check current conditions here rather than relying on habit alone.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Traffic follows a fairly predictable commuter pattern, without the sharp spikes or market-driven congestion found closer to the Broadway. Outside standard peak hours, this section runs relatively freely for most of the day. Weekend traffic here remains fairly light, consistent with this section's steady, unremarkable character throughout the working week too. a consistency that makes this one of the more genuinely predictable stretches on this whole list of cameras.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
ULEZ cameras and standard Red Route restrictions apply throughout, with bus lanes camera-enforced during their operating hours given the routes running the length of Upper Tooting Road. Camera coverage here is standard for this type of residential A-road section, without any specific restrictions beyond the usual borough-wide provisions.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Local side streets around Kellino Street offer no meaningful shortcut for through-traffic, so staying on the main road and adjusting timing is usually the more sensible approach if this stretch is busy. Given this section's steady, unremarkable traffic, seeking an alternative route is rarely worthwhile for what's normally a fairly minor and short-lived delay. Checking conditions elsewhere in Tooting first is generally more useful than assuming this steady, unremarkable stretch needs a diversion. This steady, unremarkable stretch rarely sees serious incidents, though a whiplash compensation claim following a sudden stop does occur here from time to time.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This section is a reliable, fairly unremarkable stretch of the A24 — useful as a steady baseline for judging how the wider Tooting corridor is running on any given day.
ULEZ & Emissions
Wandsworth sits fully inside the expanded ULEZ, running 24/7 — £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles. There's no Congestion Charge in the borough, though routes towards Battersea and the river can brush the zone boundary near central London. Check tfl.gov.uk before you travel.
Parking near Upper Tooting Rd/Kellino St, South London
This calmer stretch of Upper Tooting Road near Kellino Street sits within a Wandsworth CPZ, permit or pay-and-display depending on the zone, continuing the more manageable parking character found further along this southern section of the A24. There's no dedicated public car park nearby, and none is really needed given how straightforward parking usually is here. Wandsworth follows a borough-wide policy of free bank holiday parking in almost all its CPZs. This is one of the more reliable stretches on this whole list for finding casual on-street parking without a permit, particularly compared with the genuinely competitive parking found closer to Tooting Broadway and Balham town centre further north. A whiplash compensation claim following a sudden stop does occur here from time to time, despite the stretch's steady character. Roadside recovery cover with fast local response is worth having as a backup here too.
If on-street parking is hard to find, apps like JustPark and YourParkingSpace let you pre-book a private driveway or car park nearby — typically from around £2–£6 per hour or £10–£25 per day depending on how central the location is.
