Flowers Delivered In Tooting Bec

If you had to guess, you might suggest Tooting Bec is named after a river or stream - 'beck' is a common component in many place names. Things are actually a little more complicated than that, and although 'Tooting' may refer to a lookout post (derived from the verb 'to tout'), it probably wasn't a lookout post 'on a stream'. Instead, the flower delivery Tooting Bec addresses receive is actually sent to an area that pays tribute to Bec Abbey in Normandy, France, a potentially surprising cross-channel connection for many people.

However, the story doesn't end there, because despite the present-day differences between English and French, the name of Bec Abbey itself probably comes from the Norse word 'bekkr' which, as you may have guessed, means 'stream'. So although the name of Tooting Bec derives from a stream after all, that beck was more than 150 miles away in an entirely different country. Luckily the flower delivery Tooting Bec residents order does not have quite so far to go - and in most cases, will be with you next-day.
