Sutton in General

Description: London Borough of Sutton

Newest Review: ... high streets that go off on different roads but don't let that fool you, it will still take you a good 20 - 30 minutes to walk from the very top of the high street to the very bottom. The whole way down you will be surrounded by shops which include the usual things like Debenhams, M&S, Woolworths, BHS, HMV, Zavvi, Waterstones, numerous phone shops (all basically opposite each other), ... more

... Curry's Digital, lots of sport shops, etc. As far as I'm concerned, there's more or less everything you need. There are always new shops opening and I have certainly noticed that the quality of these shops has steadily been increasing over the years. In te...more

I have been a Suttonite for my whole life so I thought I'd write a review and detail some of the weird and wacky characters in Sutton as well as Sutton as a whole. However, I won't talk about the schools as I have no children! Sutton is located to the south east of London and is considered to be part of London. To get to London, the best way is to catch the fast train to Victoria which takes about 25 minutes. There are numerous buses that also go into London but they obviously take much longer.

If you were to arrive at Sutton station you would probably find yourself reeling at the moment at the state of the place. It's been devestated, and with good reason. The guts have been ripped out of it as Connex revitalise what was a fairly dingy little station into a 21st Century showcase for rail transportation. I am sure it will look fairly nice when completed, but right now, it makes things pretty difficult, and when the lack of comfort is added to Connex South Central and their inability to run an adequate train service, being trapped on the station for any period of time is no fun at all! That aside, things look up from here. Or downhill, rather, as ... Read the complete review
