What locals say about SM1
“Sutton has a lot going for it, and with plenty of money being invested in the area, things can only get better. It has great schools, shopping, bars and restaurants, as well as being half an hour into central London for the commuters amongst us. It's a great place for families with a good range of houses in safe residential areas. We moved here from South West London 10 years ago and quickly made friends in the area. If you want to go for a night out in central London, you can easily get a train back or grab an Uber for not much more. On the weekends we can walk the dog on Nonsuch Park or The Oaks, go out for a Sunday lunch at any number of places, or have a relaxing barbecue with friends. If you like golf you are spoiled for choice, with a large number of high quality courses within 20 minutes of our front door... ”

“Sutton actually has a lot going for it. Some of the best schools in the country including Sutton Grammar School and the parks such as Nonsuch Park are great too, with excellent facilities. Transport links are great with regular trains to Victoria, Clapham Junction and London Bridge and most in less than 30 minutes. Cheam is a lovely village in the borough of Sutton with some of the largest houses I have ever seen! With such great proximity to London you get the best of both worlds. ”

Oasiz
Oasiz are one of the UK’s most authentic tribute bands, a point proved in 2023 when a short clip of front man Steve, performing as Liam, went viral on social media with over half a million views. Many fans were convinced the clip was actually of Liam Gallagher himself, which led to the story being covered in the national press, as well as a high profile TV appearance later that year. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of (What’s the story) Morning Glory, Oasiz are embarking on a 2025 UK tour and this is your chance to see them in top form. The setlist will pay homage to the most memorable parts of Oasis’ record breaking 2nd album and will also include all the big hitting career spanning anthems that you would associate with a greatest hits tour.Read more
