Residents living on Chasefield Road in Tooting came together on Christmas Day to sing Christmas carols.

Tooting resident Peter Brice took it upon himself to organise a doorstep carol sing as a way to bring the community together in troubled times.

Peter posted lyrics through the doors of all of his neighbours houses and told residents to come out at 4.30pm.

"I probably expected about ten households to come out and sing but more people just kept on coming," Peter told Nub News.

A lover of carols and a good sing-along, Peter missed the opportunity to get all of his family singing this Christmas.

Peter said: "The news about not being able to spend Christmas with your families came as quite a shock to everyone I think.

"I knew that a lot of people could be spending Christmas on their own this year.

"I thought it'd be nice to find some small and legal way to celebrate it as a street."

Peter played his keyboard and guitar to keep everyone in time.

"I'm obviously not a genius on the guitar but I wanted to make sure we had something that kept us all together," Peter added.
