Tourist
Information
The
nearest Railway Station is Raynes Park, where frequent fast trains leave for
London's Waterloo station, or change at Wimbledon just down the line for the
underground network. It takes about 15 or 20 minutes to walk to Raynes Park
shopping centre and railway station, or there is a bus route near the house
which connects with the railway at Raynes Park, or a slightly longer journey
to Wimbledon where the underground network is also accessible. Travel cards
can be purchased locally making travel on the capital's buses, underground and
railway networks easy. The journey to central London giving access to the entire
capital with its shops, theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sightseeing opportunities
takes about 20 minutes.
Hampton
Court Palace, Richmond Park, Kew Gardens, Chessington World of Adventure and
Wimbledon with its shops, village, common, windmill, Tennis courts and museum
are close by. Raynes Park is on the borders of outer London and Surrey with
its beautiful countryside. The easily accessed motorway routes open the opportunities
of sightseeing further. Windsor Castle, Thorpe Park (a theme park, a delight
for the young) and Brighton all offer a day's outing. The Channel Tunnel is
an hour and a half away by motorway, so a visit to France can make a pleasant
day out.
