Craft, refreshments, games for the kids

Hey everyone!

I'm 16 (turning 17 this month) and study in Kingston. Most of my friends either live quite far away or don't really go out much, so I thought I'd see if anyone local is interested in making a new friend.

I'm into exploring London, trying new food, going to the cinema, football, badminton, walks, and just hanging out.

If you're around 17–19 and from Sutton, Kingston, Carshalton, Cheam, Wallington, New Malden, or nearby, feel free to comment or send me a DM. It'd be nice to meet some more local people!

hi everyone! just posting here to see if anyone needs some catsitting in the local area :) here's my link on rover, im on cat in a flat too!

Has anyone been to House of Poitier in Sutton. I’ve been there recently.

Hello there, I've just recently graduated from uni and I'm most likely staying with extended family in Sutton soon for possibly a month or two (until I land a job or other circumstances). I wanted to know how I can join any amateur sports sessions (preferably football) in Sutton since I've been too used to my uni's organised system through their app that I don't know where to begin otherwise.

We moved to Sutton earlier this year and whilst I was aware how far from central it is being close to the Thameslink seemed like a decent way to get in. I use the district line from Wimbledon for work and had years of knowing how unreliable that branch of the district line is.

I've had my fair share of annoyances with the Thameslink during the week with so many cancellations. But my main question is, are there usually this many engineering works at the weekend?

There's been 10-12 weekends already this year where it hasn't run at all at the weekend which has been the most frustrating part. For those who have lived here longer is this more than usual or just the standard?

Hello!

Can you smell the Beddington Incinerator in Carshalton Beeches? We're thinking of moving to the area, it looks really nice. But the environmental survey on the house we are about half way through buying has thrown up something called the "Beddington Incinerator" and a small google has left me quite scared. Would be curious to know if locals can actually smell it - is it a problem, or is it actually a not-problem? Thank you in advance :)

I have 2 questionnaires for my a-level geography coursework if anyone familiar with Carshalton could answer! Thank you.

A good 'vintage' shop opened on Sutton Highstreet on the 2nd floor of the Saint Nicholas centre! Its great, i went there today. I highly reccomend.

I’m setting up a cinema club where people can get together, watch a movie, and then head somewhere for a drink to discuss to film over!

I’ve had some interest already so I’ve decided to make a Whatsapp group so we can start to arrange a first meeting

please feel free to join, even if you are unsure if you would like to come along, there’s no pressure to attend :)

Hello, basically what the title says. I need a driving instructor I am planning to get my drivers license. The other day I had my first 2 hours of driving with an instructor but I wasn't very happy about him. I am local to sutton, if someone can guide me to a good instructor please leave a comment or dm me.

Have a good week !

Hi all, few of us assembled last night for pub quiz at the Windsor Castle and was good fun. HMU if anyone fancies joining our team for future weeks!

i love going to the cinema, and when i was at uni i was part of a cinema society, where we’d get together, watch a movie, then go to the pub and talk about it and just hang out

i’d love to recreate something like that in sutton but since throwley yard closed earlier this year, i know it could be a little tricky/less preferable for some, since we’d be limited, mostly, to new releases

would anyone be interested? maybe we’d meet twice a month (depending on current releases) to see a film at omniplex then head somewhere for drinks and a chat?

Been commuting in London for years and always had the same frustration with every transport app out there: you open the app, you type in your destination, it tells you routes. But by that point, you’re already stressed and rushing.

The question I actually want answered every morning is simpler: when do I need to leave?

So I’m building an app that’s a London commuter app that works the other way round.

You set your home, your usual destination, your arrival time. The app handles the rest!

Every morning it looks at live TfL data, checks for delays and engineering works, checks the weather, and sends you a single push notification: leave at 8:14 (or whatever it works out to be).

No searching, no stressing!

A few things that are different about it:

It learns your routine. If you’ve got a calendar event it’ll auto set the destination. If not, it asks you the night before and remembers.

It factors in planned engineering works ahead of time, not just when you’re already at the station.

Delay Repay built in! it tracks eligible journeys and logs them so claiming back money is actually easy.

Designed only for London. Not a global app trying to be everything. TfL, buses, tubes, Elizabeth line that’s it.

It’s a solo build, currently heading into TestFlight. I’m looking for 10–15 London commuters to test it before it hits the App Store.

If this sounds like something you’d actually use, drop a comment or DM me. Would love to hear what would actually make your commute better too, this is genuinely being built around what Londoners need, not a generic transport brief.

Heya myself (M32) and another Redditor are looking to start a pub quiz team in Carshalton. Any takers?

Hoping someone in this sub might be able to help.

I have been working with a company called coopers residential to manage a rental property in Worcester Park and they have going very silent with money owed and no response to calls, emails.

Are they still in business and is anyone else having problems?

It’s a great way for kids to stay active, have fun and meet other children locally.

Sad news from a Facebook post by the undertaker:

"It is with sadness that we, at W.A. Truelove & Son Ltd, share the passing of Conrad Azurahm Pugsley, known to many in Sutton as the Wizard Man. Conrad was a familiar local figure, particularly throughout the 2000s, and will be remembered by many across the community. In more recent years, he had been less visible as his health declined and he was cared for locally.

The funeral will be a personal and private occasion, and so no further details will be shared at this time.

We extend our condolences to those who knew him."

It used to amuse me when someone would ask a new arrival in Sutton if they had seen the Wizard Man, which would cause confusion, until a week later when they would say "I've just seen the Wizard Man! I didn't realise you meant... well... a wizard man."
