Local shops are okay, though there could be a bit more variety in the area. Being right in the heart of Sutton and close to the station makes it very convenient for transport and commuting. Bin collections are generally good and reliable, although occasional fly-tipping can be an issue at times.

I’m really pleased that my home is very close to Sutton Station, which makes commuting and getting around extremely convenient. There’s a good range of local shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby, offering plenty of choice for day-to-day needs and dining out. The transport links are excellent, with frequent trains and reliable bus services. The area feels generally safe and friendly, though parking can be a bit limited at times. Bin collections are regular, and while there’s some traffic noise during rush hour, it’s not too disruptive overall.

I wish I had known how busy the area can get during peak travel times because of the station nearby. It’s not a major issue, but parking can sometimes be tricky in the evenings.
