LIVING IN LONDON: What's it like to live in Sutton - CRIME RATES, HOUSING COSTS, TRANSPORT...

[@thetudortimes]

I was born in Sutton it's changed so much over the years .Sutton is a nice place to live compared to other places.

[@beatricesing1433]

I like in sutton too!

[@traceyperfitt1231]

Your better off in Banstead, a few stops along the train line if you want somewhere crime free and quieter and greener, still a direct train route to London, fast train to London is 35 minutes. I lived in Belmont and grew up going out in Sutton, nice during the day but always trouble at night, not on the same level as Croydon but still turns into a different place at night. If you want to buy anywhere always visit the area at night time as well as the day time. Banstead is a stones throw from Epsom downs and a much nicer area for schools etc

[@PGATProductions]

what are you on about banstead to london victoria is like an hour

[@ritachakraborty9473]

Just what I need as a first-time unsure about where to buy. I'm going to check out the series - thank you!

[@renekuhn2116]

Heard the crime rate is getting bad lately

[@fortheloveofzuckuss1724]

Sutton born and bred, always loved the place. Don't forget Sutton has 3 train stations, there's also Sutton Common and West Sutton.

[@Suliplayz5264]

west sutton is my local and also serves the football club

[@jimcirile]

You guys are awesome! I love how your videos are compact and don't waste time, give us useful info we need to make a decision. I'm going to watch all your videos right now :)

[@Suliplayz5264]

I'd say transport is Sutton's main problem - TfL has neglected this area for ages by cancelling the Northern line extension and a tram line

[@skeen878]

The London borough of Sutton is green and safe. The schools are some of the best in the country. Travel into central London is relatively quick - especially if you live closer to Morden underground station or Sutton Station. Sutton Common Station takes you into Wimbledon in 10 mins if you want a bigger high street to shop in. The parks nearby such as Morden Hall Park and Nonsuch Park are absolutely heavenly, plus Surrey's beautiful open spaces are a short drive away. Houses are still affordable compared to nearby Kingston Upon Thames or Wimbledon - however the house prices in Sutton have risen quite fast during the last few years and probably won't stay so affordable for long.

[@Chill1TV]

The fact it doesn't have underground and trams are one of the reasons crime is less

[@fleur3986]

You can get into Victoria by train in 25 mins. A217 to M25 5 minutes drive away. SL27 Superloop is very quick to airport. Buses to Morden, Tooting, Kingston, and as far as Caterham Our transport is very good 5/10 is very low. You can live in Sutton without a car no problem Lived in Sutton and Cheam 50 years.

[@vernhill-wv7pp]

It is not 5 mins to the M25 unless you are doing double the speed limit. At least 15 mins assuming no hold ups but often 25 or more!

I live right next to manor park and it is great! Cinema, shops and food is perfect and it’s a great place to be. I also went to manor park primary and know the teachers well who are very kind

[@PrezidentHughes]

I was thinking of moving to Hackbridge which is in the borough. Sutton doesn't seem to be as vibrant now since the video was posted.

Great video. Just looking for something pragmatic about the borough and we got this! Well done

I've lived in Sutton all my 50 years of life. It was better before the millennium. Now it's over crowded and over developed and full of foreigners. Not my town anymore.

[@paulanderson7796]

Great content and thank you for recording and publishing this. Just one minor comment: Calm down with the jump cuts. They're a bit too aggressive and make it slightly agitating to watch. In fairness it's more of a audio thing that a video thing but it has that crazy American feel about it.

[@sandraoconnor7059]

Excellent travel - buses and 3 train stations 32 mins to London Bridge

[@cryptofierce7431]

Sutton is awesome place - nice vibe and people

[@benjacksonfilms]

Great video - thanks

[@croydonable]

Sutton is lovely ,better then other south London no doubt

[@markblakeut]

Are you talking about Sutton town or the LBof Sutton? If the latter I would suggest 10/10 for education. Wilson school, Wallington grammar boys and girls (2 schools) and Non such grammar for girls.

[@womblediehard123]

I have always disagreed with the borough becoming south London when in truth Sutton is Surrey first always. It has changed so much since I was born as well as raised in Sutton and it is becoming more of a city look than a borough one. I will always have a heart emoji for Sutton as well as Carshalton my birth place but I will never return as way to expensive to live there now. Great video and thank you.

[@croydonable]

unless you were born before the mid 60s , if you were born in St Helier ,Morden or Sutton your from London not Surrey

[@markblakeut]

My sister was born in Kingston hospital in Surrey Jan 1965. Had she been born in the same place in April 1965 (3 months later) she would have been born in London. I was born in 1966 in Clapham, London. Had I been born in the same place in 1888 I would have been born in Surrey. Hope that makes things clearer.

[@croydonable]

@@markblakeut people don`t seem to understand boundary changes , it blows their minds ... Sutton still gets called Surrey ,60 odd years since its been in London
