Lovely area on the outskirts of London with many fine qualities, not least its outstanding schools, its excellent library - the best for miles around - and the attractive high street with its buzzy shops, coffee bars and restaurants. In the - admittedly unlikely - event you should wish to go somewhere else, Sutton's neighbouring areas are pleasant too - Wimbledon and Epsom.
Sutton person 1: Shall we go into Epsom today?
Sutton person 2: What's the point? We've got everything here.

I ♥ SUTTON

Get the SUTTON mug.Fabulous area of outer London mainly located in the London Borough of Sutton, although part of it is in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. It's in Travelcard zone 4 and about 8 miles from central London. There's a good range of restaurants including sushi in the main shopping street, along with coffee houses and a branch of ubercool Waitrose.
Our American friends will feel very much at home here, as there is an awesome 1,000 home executive estate of NEW ENGLAND style houses. It's won many awards for its architecture and beautiful landscaping.

Get the Worcester Park mug.Sutton is an attractive middle class town in outer south London with easy access to central London. It has a Surrey post code, but has officially been part of London since 1965. The town has a high-achieving state Grammar school for boys, and a private school for girls. It is a regional shopping hub with major stores and plenty of restaurants and coffee houses.
The town has quite an arty side with a theatre and a lot of outdoor, public art. These include two sculptures, an armillary, and three building-height murals - one of Sutton's twin towns, one a heritage mural mosaic showing nearby sites of historical importance and, last but not least for fans of neo soul, one of Erykah Badu, no less.

Get the Epsom mug.Cheam is a smart area of outer London on the boundary with Surrey. It is in the much admired and very leafy London Borough of Sutton.

There are numerous trendy restaurants, gift shops and coffee houses in the village, along with a branch of Waitrose.
