Honeywood Museum

The borough's flagship historic house and museum reopened at the end of May 2012. It has been beautifully refurbished and renovated as a result of an investment of almost £1m which has come from the Heritage Lottery Fund (£635,000) and the council (£260,000).

The Grade II listed building next to Carshalton Ponds dates from the 17th century, but was extended in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The house has been beautifully restored to show how it would have looked when it was a family home. The Edwardian era billiards room, drawing room, bathroom and kitchen will let visitors step into the past and see for themselves how the residents of Honeywood would have lived. The Museum's shop is open for visitors to enjoy.

There is a programme of changing interactive exhibitions. This gives visitors more opportunity to see a wider range of museum artifacts and learn about life in Sutton in the past.

There are lots of activities for families and children throughout the year as well as an extensive programme of workshops for schools.

Honeywood Museum is supported by the The Friends of Honeywood Museum.
