What Visitors Say
Interesting local history museum for Sutton. The beautiful surrounding pond and Carshalton town centre are relaxing. A nice afternoon can be spent here, family friendly. Just look for parking spots either off street and walk or use Ringo at The Square
Today we visited Honeywood House Museum in Carshalton with a group of members who have dementia — there were 10 of us in total. It was a lovely trip, although a little challenging at times as we had three wheelchairs with us and some areas are quite restricted due to the size of the historic building. For those who were able to walk around more easily, it was a really fun and interesting experience exploring the house. There were lots of quirky rooms, narrow staircases, and plenty to learn about the history of the village. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming, taking the time to guide us around and explain each room and its history, which made the visit even more special. There’s also a tiny, cosy tea room which was very sweet. Outside, the view over the pond was beautiful, with wildlife and flowers blooming everywhere — a really peaceful spot to sit for a while. The café is a little overpriced, but that’s to be expected with a free museum. Overall, it’s not a full day out, but perfect for a relaxed couple of hours exploring somewhere a bit different.
Lovely little museum by the ponds. Interesting exhibition about 200 years of trains & the local area. Friendly staff
Wonderful place to learn more about our local area and its rich history Bring your children they will enjoy, if you have pets, just a reminder that they are not allowed. Happy visit 🌟
A cosy museum not without pleasant little surprises. Showcase of local history, run by friendly volunteers. Limited car parking lots outside so better come early or on weekdays if you are driving.
