This HiRISE image shows one of the many lobate deposits surrounding the 28 km diameter Tooting Crater on Mars (24oN, 208oE). Deposits such as these are often attributed to the impact event interacting with water or ice within the target rocks. The direction of flow was from the bottom to the top of the image.
There are many interesting features visible in this image. Around the perimeter of the ejecta lobe is a ridge or “rampart”. Streamers of small pits radiate away from the parent crater (which lies off the bottom of the image), and these may be secondary craters. There is also a faint alignment of blocks within the lobe which may indicate laminar flow of the ejecta.

Tooting Bec (originally Trinity Road) is a London Underground station in Tooting, South London. The station is on the Northern line, between Balham and Tooting Broadway stations. It is located on the junction of Trinity Road (heading north-west), Upper Tooting Road (south-west), Balham High Road (north-east), Tooting Bec Road (south-east) and Stapleton Road (also south-east). The station is in Travelcard Zone 3.
The station was designed by Charles Holden and opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway, which is now part of the Northern line. It was given its present name on 1 October 1950.
The narrow satellite building on the east side of the junction provides pedestrian subway access to the station and is unusual in that it has a large glazed roundel on each of the three panels of its glazed screen, as normally the Morden extension stations have the roundel in just the centre panel. For many years the northern panel of the screen was the sole example on any of the Morden extension stations to retain the 1920s "UNDERGROUND" lettering, the other stations' screens having been replaced with plain glass over the years. All the stations have now had the original motif replaced along with the flag-pole-mounted roundels that had been removed in the 1950s.
On the platforms the station has two examples of clocks from the Self Winding Clock Company of New York.

In the unremarkable London suburb of Tooting is Britain's only grade 1 'listed' cinema. This means it's right up there with the Tower of London and Stonehenge as a heritage masterpiece! It was built in 1930-31. It was commisioned by impresario Sidney Bernstein from the architect Cecil Massey. He adapted a design of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott for another Bernstein project, the Phoenix Theatre in Charing Cross Road. The interior was designed by theatrical director and designer Theodore Komisarjevsky.
It has been a bingo hall for many years, but was open to the public on the Sunday morning of the London 'open house' weekend in September 2010.
