Not just a win for Labour, but a big win.
With 6357 votes more than the Conservative candidate, Labour's Rosena Allin-Khan did more than just hold onto a Labour seat, she also more than doubled her predecessor London Mayor Sadiq Khan's majority and turned Tooting back into a safe Labour seat.
But the mood was not a celebratory one. Sombre, quiet, no cheering from the Labour ranks as their candidate's name was announced.
This was a party shaken by events that have shocked the country and the world. There were just short statements from the new MP and the Conservative runner up.
Image source, PARosena Allin-Khan paid her respects to Jo Cox, who'd been killed in her constituency earlier while doing the job of an MP, at the very time that people in Tooting were going to polling stations to vote for their new MP.
Dr Allin-Khan said that Jo Cox had been a "proud campaigner" and that what had happened to her reminded us of just how fragile our democracy is.
In Tooting we saw that democracy in action... ballot papers verified and counted like at any election count in any town or city.
But this was a very different kind of count. There was a two minute silence; the flag was at half mast over the town hall; and you could feel the sadness in the room all evening and on all political sides.
In his short statement Conservative runner up Dan Watkins echoed the sympathy felt by many there for Jo Cox's family.
Image source, PAThe Green candidate Esther Obiri-Darko, who came third, told me that when her campaign team heard what had happened on Thursday they headed straight to the Labour office in Tooting to see if the Labour team were ok.
Clive Efford, the Labour MP for Eltham, who'd been campaigning in Tooting, told me that when the local campaign team heard the worst, they stopped what they were doing and struggled to carry on.
But he said "we just had to dry our tears and get out there... the democratic process continues." And it has done here in Tooting, but under circumstances none here could have imagined.
This morning it's emerged that a man was arrested in March by the Met Police after MP Jo Cox complained she'd received "malicious communications".
