Nestled in the heart of suburbia is a forgotten wildlife haven. Officially recorded as the Raeburn Open Space, this 5 hectare site is made up of a mosaic of habitat types including native deciduous woodland, a small stream known as the Tolworth Brook & some scrub land. A new 3 year project started in 2017 to enhance this wildlife haven & community space with a new bridge & dipping pond.

This ticks all the normal 'local park' boxes, including a large play area (with swings, climbing frames, etc) for kids and a really decent cafe. I've enjoyed sitting on the grass on a warm summers day to bask in the sunshine, or eating a delicious cheese and ham croissant and a coffee from the cafe, or a quick lunch on a bench in the winter (please use the bins for any rubbish!).

Fishponds Park continues to be an amazing local green space to be able to visit and relax in. Every time I visit, whether alone or with friends or family, I realise how lucky we are to have this council owned space with a wonderful community group committed to improving it. The work volunteers have done is brilliant and my family is excited to see how it will improve. Keep up the great work!

Whether you're shopping for gourmet game, homemade preserves or delectable cakes and patisserie, our award-winning market is all about fantastic food, a great atmosphere and a true sense of community. On the third Saturday of each month some 26 stalls offer the very finest fare, brought to you directly by farmers and artisans who are truly passionate about what they do - and all against the village-y backdrop of leafy Maple Road with its chic eateries and shops. Since it began in October 2009, Surbiton Farmers' Market has become an essential meeting point for the community as well as a great place to shop, while helping to raise more than £50,000 for local charities and good causes.

The thing about time passing? It adds confidence, self-belief, assurance. So it is with Surbiton's monthly Farmers' Market in Maple Road, on the third Saturday of each month. There are guest stalls, which adds variety and keeps it fresh, while the mainstays - including Ralph's deli (now also open as a shop), the fruit n veg, olives, bread, sausages, venison, goat... a good array. This has settled down into a firm fixture in the local community, with Surbiton town-centre shoppers diverted down St James Road to join in the hubbub. It tapers out towards the end, and does look a little ragged and forlorn once you've got past the main run of stalls (see picture), but generally it's an absolute gem - friendly, varied and filled with bargains. When he has them, the fish man's oysters are simply terrific.

A regular at Claremont Gardens, I love seeing all the changes that go on through the seasons. The colours of the trees and landscape are beautiful in different ways through the year. It's definitely worth a visit for a little exploration and calm wander around the grounds. I've enjoyed hiring a boat to head out on the pond too, with the quizzical looks of interest from the ducks and birds floating around. The obligatory visit to a National Trust cafe for a scone also helps!
