About Sutton - show infohide info
Sutton is a town, and a borough, in the county of Greater London. The town lies to the south west of central London. Sutton dates from Anglo Saxon times, with its parish still following the original layout from Saxon times. However, evidence of settlement in the region dates from over 10,000 years ago thanks to archaelogical finds. Additionally, a Roman Villa has been excavated in nearby Beddington. The Roman road of Stane Street once formed the northern boundary of the parish of Sutton. Today, its course is followed by the A24. Sutton's original charter showed the town to be named Sudtone, which is thought to have meant 'South Enclosure', though it is usually thought to mean 'South Town' instead. When the Domesday Book was written, Sutton was still referred to as Sudtone, and at the time was just a small village. In 1755, a turnpike road from London to Brighton was built through Sutton, with the turnpikes being built adjacent to The Cock pub, on an intersection with the Carshalton to Ewell turnpike road. However, the turnpikes were slowly moved away from the centre of the town as it expanded. The turnpikes were instrumental in the growth of Sutton, as a number of inns and services sprung up to cater for passing trade. When the railway was built in 1847, the Sutton's population more than doubled between 1851 and 1861. Since then, the expansion has continued, Sutton now being a conurbation with a number of other towns in the Greater London area. Today, Sutton is mainly a commuter town for London, though several companies are based in the town and its borough. The borough of Sutton is home to approximately 180,000 inhabitants. Sutton is served by 3 railway stations, Sutton, West Sutton and Sutton Common. The main Sutton station sees services between London Victoria and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham and St Albans among other destinations. Sutton is also a terminus for Sutton - Wimbledon trains, which call as both West Sutton and Sutton Common. Nearby towns include Esher, Kingston-upon-Thames, Epsom, Ewell, Croydon, Weybridge, Leatherhead, Tadworth, Redhill, Reigate and Chertsey.
