Safe environment in Surbiton

“The joy of the railway station pub is an almost universally appreciated joy. And while The Surbiton Flyer isn’t technically a station pub, categorised in my mind by having a departures screen somewhere inside so you can see how many more pints you can squeeze in before running for your train, it’s proximity to Surbiton station certainly brings it close. An old Barclays bank, bought and converted by Fullers 1995, it’s a cosy boozer with a clean interior. Since it’s refurb some 4 odd years ago(?), it’s brought with it that All-Bar-One aesthetic, weirdly keeping in theme with grand Bank entrances, hotel lobbies and railway station concourses. It’s just a bit posh basically, but a sort of faux-poshness, filled with people waiting. Drinks-wise, it’s Fullers and your usual Fullers pub beers. Nice to see (another, since Fullers are only down the road) local brewery here with Big Smoke Electric Eye, although on this occasion, it was a little soapy. In my previous visits here, the London Pride has always been excellent - I should’ve known better. I haven’t had the food here but it does get good reviews. While I love to get proper unsurprising pub grub, it’s hard around this particular one. Next door you have Surbiton Kebabs & Fried Chicken - who I love, not only for the chicken/wraps, but when a car reversed into their shop a few years back, they chose to rebuild it exactly as it looked before and always has. The station itself has more history than the pub. It is “considered one of the finest modernist stations in Great Britain”, is Grade II listed, built in 1937, and designed by Scottish architect James Robb Scott (also designed Waterloo and Richmond among others). It would be nice if they cleaned it once in a while, although it is set for a huge refurb so maybe they can find time to push a broom around. The station was used in Harry Potter if you’re into that too. Overall, if you’re in the area and you find yourself with some time before getting on a train, make sure you’re by the kebab shop entrance, grab a pint, and some wings for the journey. A compact Fullers pub perfect to relax in while whittling down the minutes.”

“I'm so pleased to have found Bow wow. Michelle is reliable and friendly, I know Brutus is well cared for and he always comes back happy from the nice long walks.”

“This is the best school. The teachers are great, but not only them, but everyone else, I recommend them. They are great.”

“This is a fantastic nursery. Our son settled extremely quickly and that is because all the staff were brilliant and you can tell that they care about the children. All the staff across the nursery knew our son's name within a day and would say hello to him as we dropped him off. There is plenty of outside space which our son loved and they do loads of activities with the children throughout the day which they update you on through the app. Our son developed so much from being here and we highly recommend it for people looking for an outstanding nursery in Surbiton.”

“Great school.Absolutely loved it here.”

“Have been going to Aron's for a couple of years, service is excellent and never had a bad cut.”

“Excellent Service! We hired All Bounce Surrey after our original supplier cancelled two days before our event. Chris was very helpful, efficient and a treat to work with. Seamless service.”

“We recently had our newborn son circumcised at Circumcision Clinic London (CCL) Dr Anwar Khan , and overall, we had a very positive experience. As first-time parents, we were naturally anxious about the procedure, but Dr. Khan and the entire staff were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. They took the time to explain the entire process in detail, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The procedure itself was quick and done with great care. We were allowed to be present and comfort our baby immediately afterward. The doctor gave us clear post-care instructions and even provided written guidelines and a helpline in case we had concerns later on. Our baby was a bit fussy the first day, which we were told to expect, but he healed beautifully within a week. We followed the care instructions carefully, and we had a follow up appointment after 2 weeks. We’re grateful for how smoothly everything went and how compassionate the team was during a sensitive and emotional time for us. We would definitely recommend this clinic to other parents considering circumcision for their child.”

“This place is top notch. I love the decor and the care provided to me while they do my hair. Anna is a super duper awesome barber. Amir, what can I say about this man? He is exceptionally fantabulously marvelous barber in the business. Highly recommend.”

“So you need to get your new born vaccinated? And you love somewhere within a 4 mile radius of tolworth? Then this is your centre. If you are driving there, please plan some additional time to find parking. Take your pram with you in case you have to walk a distance from where you parked to the centre. Situated right next to a school is this brilliant children's centre with absolutely amazing staff! We went in for a BCG and it was a breeze once we were inside. The staff was fantastic from welcoming and helping my pregnant wife with carrying the baby seat, guiding us to the waiting room, then the vaccination staff was intelligent and well informed on all things about the vaccine, explained all the potential side effects and how to care for the area that was vaccinated etc. all was done in less than 5 minutes. Wearing layers of baby clothes that are easy to remove and put back on would be ideal. I prefer the zip ones to the buttoned ones.”

“Sutherland has been a great nursery! Our son really enjoyed his time there, but he had to leave due to relocation. The highlight was the staff who were very kind and sweet. My son settled very well after a couple of weeks. He often wanted a morning cuddle from the staff with a smile on his face when I dropped him off in the morning. They did lots of fun activities, like making cards, costume party, celebration for national book day and sensory activities. The management team is very responsive. When I asked about the dietary plan and requested more meals with meat/fish, they acted in a few days to increase to 4 days/week with meat/fish. We also like their onsite kitchen so all the food could be prepared freshly for our son :) Their financial manager Julia is very friendly and helpful. She usually replies my email promptly with detailed answers. When my son needed to leave after giving notice, they made some adaptation for our schedule and waived some of the fee. That was very appreciated! We were a bit shocked by the 48hr quarantine policy regardless of the child's illness. That was challenging for us as two full-time working parents, but the manager said that policy will be reviewed in the future. Overall, our experience with Sutherland was great!”

“Amazing group, been there since I was a beaver Would recommend!!”

“Amazing group. Love the vibe the children get here. Seen the children have some cool stuff here. They put up tents and slept in the hall. Lol and they are only 7. My son has really loved the whole badge collecting and is on a determined journey to gain his Beaver Scout Chief Scout's Bronze Award Badge, the highest badge available to Beaver Scouts.”

“Great experience both times I've been here. I had Simon for my appointment and he made me feel very comfortable and settled. Thankyou very much!”

“Amazing school... such a lovely environment. Can't fault it...”

“Learn Tree has been a blessing for my son. Its instilled great working discipline and he adores the staff and enjoys the tasks he's set. Well done to Ebiere and the fantastic Learn Tree team. Thank you for building up my son's confidence, so much so that he got into a school which he had to pass an exam for!”

“Lovely and quick response to my enquiry when asked about their product!! Brandon was very helpful and helped with everything I needed”

“Great teachers with fun and friendly atmosphere, where the impossible all becomes possible! I really love how everyone encourages and cheers each other on, having come for the exercise and challenge, the added bonus has been making amazing friends along the way!”

“Heather is an amazing psychologist, she is very specialised in eating disorders & CBT and has been a wealth of knowledge when it comes to clinician supervision. I have been privileged to learn so much from her practice! Thank you Heather !”

“Both my boys, one elderly and lame the other young, naughty and always in scrapes, love Holly and Lola and know exactly when we turn the corner to their road. They could not be better looked after and always come home fitter and more relaxed after their stay. Holly is very aware of the individual needs of the animals in her care and gives each the attention it needs. I highly recommend Holly and the work that she does and Debbie at Happy Houndz for so exactly matching my needs and those of my dogs. Thank you.”

“Really good job. My windows have never been so clean. Very polite and efficient. Thanks”

“What a lovely family business. We were so impressed by the amazing customer service. Highly recommended. We will come back!”

“Emily showed great skill and care building a trusting therapeutic relationship with our teenage son and supporting him to engage with a range of difficult issues, including those relating to his (late-diagnosed) autism. I’d recommend Emily unreservedly”

“best school ever but sasm pull it down”
