Tooting Broadway is a London Underground station in Tooting in the London Borough of Wandsworth, South London.

The station is on the Northern line, between Tooting Bec and Colliers Wood stations and is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station is a Grade II listed building.

The central panel of the screen contains a large version of the roundel
