About

Sutton lies in south London as the principal town of the London Borough of Sutton. The town centre is built around a pedestrianised high street and two shopping centres, the St Nicholas Centre and Times Square, with civic buildings grouped near the station and Manor Park. A parish church, St Nicholas, stands close to the shopping area. Cultural facilities include the Secombe Theatre, named for Harry Secombe, which sits near the main shopping streets and stages local drama and comedy. Community services such as Sutton Life Centre and Sutton College occupy former municipal spaces and host regular workshops and classes.

Rail links make Sutton a commuter hub, with frequent services to central London terminals including Victoria and London Bridge, and routes that join the Thameslink network. The Royal Marsden Hospital has a specialist site in Sutton, and Sutton United play at Gander Green Lane within the town. Streets off the high street lead quickly to residential neighbourhoods, small local parks and playing fields, giving a clear change of pace between the commercial core and surrounding suburbs.
