It's also worth travelling to from outside the area - the village of Carshalton is drop-dead gorgeous - real picture postcard stuff in its centre so make a day of it. The nearest rail station is Carshalton, although Carshalton Beeches and Wallington are not too far either. The earlier reviewer got the station details wrong by not mentioning the nearest station of all! There is a Thai restaurant (separate but within the same building).

My wife and I were really concerned about starting to put my little 1.5-years-old daughter (Kiana)…read moreto nursery. Not only because she was our only child, but also because she had not started talking and we couldn't be assured that we understood her feelings and needs. However, the manager and staff at the Rydevale Day Nursery helped us very much during transition to the new situation. They offered us gradual and supervised exposure of our little daughter to her new environment by starting to accept her for an hour or two a day, with my wife present. Then, they asked us to leave Kiana alone there for an hour or two to see her reactions. Then, after a few days, we just headed off for the whole days and Kiana became happy with her new life. Rydevale Day Nursery's staff were kind, polite and cooperative. My wife and I were both at ease with different requests and requirements that we had for Kiana, especially when it came to her health and safety. We met parents before finally deciding to start at this nursery and we met many others during the stay. Surprisingly, all parents were happy with the care and services provided by the manager and staff for their children. My wife and I insisting on the fact that for the manager of Rydevale Day Nursery, providing good care and having relationship with children comes as the first priorities. We met many parents that they believed so and we were all in agreement that financial and monetary aspects of care at Rydevale Day Nursery get much lower priorities when we entered and used their services. The most important thing overall is that Kiana felt so happy when she was there. It took her a few days to adapt herself and like the environment; but, just after a few days, we were completely noticing that she likes going there, playing with children, and interacting with staff. It is my pleasure to say thank you messages to Rydevale Day Nursery's manager and staff for all their love and support to Kiana. We miss you all! Love, Kiana

The Livery Companies of the City of London are the descendents of the ancient guilds which…read morecontrolled England's trades in the middle ages, and which now administer large charitable funds, as well as supporting schools, universities and almshouses. Their wealth is based mainly on bequests and gifts of land and buildings acquired over the centuries. Few of them have any links with their original trades, though a few, like the Goldsmiths, still do (see http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/leisure_heritage/livery/modern.htm ) Of the 108 livery companies, the oldest make up 'the Great Twelve', and the Drapers - which once controlled the woolen cloth trade - ranks at No 3 in an order of precedence settled as long ago as 1515 (the Mercers - the general merchants - and the Grocers are No 1 and 2). Most of the companies have splendid halls with wonderful collections of paintings and silver, and hold magnificent dinners for their members (called Liveryman) and for worthies such as the Lord Mayor and the heads of the armed forces. Fortunately, the halls can also be hired for parties, receptions and weddings and make fascinating venues, full of history. The Drapers' Hall is argueably the finest of all, and one can hire the Livery Hall, the Court Dining Doom and the Drawing room for up to 400 people (though it's also possible to give small dinner) . Catering is by the hall staff and is high quality. Details of the rooms are available here http://www.thedrapers.co.uk/Banqueting/1_Introduction.html

The pub just looks like any old old man's pub in London but you get a completely different feel once you step inside.

The theatre is upstairs and hosts and array of amateur plays and comedy nights. My friend used to run a comedy night on Sundays here and it was really great and inexpensive.
