Wallington, Surrey SM6

The town of Wallington is located with the London Borough of Sutton just 10 miles south of central London and only 30 minutes away by train. It was formerly part of the County of Surrey before the merger of Beddington and Wallington in 1915. The town hall which is now home to SCOLA Sutton College of Learning for Adults was built in 1935 with the library added a year later.

Wallington is rich in history and appears in the Domesday book of 1086 which makes reference to Wallington having 2 mills unfortunately it is not known where they were located. Carshalton station was built in 1847 in open fields to the south of Wallington at the same time the Croydon to Epsom railway line opened. This made Wallington an ideal location for property development with convenient link to London.

Wallington has some great open spaces including Beddington Park home to the Grange now a modern public house and restaurant. The park has historical links to Carew Manor once a large country manor house to the Tudor Queen of England Elizabeth I dating back to the 1500’s. It is now Suttons only grade 1 listed building and used as a school. Visits and guided tours are available on various Sunday afternoons throughout the summer. The cost is around £3.50 but tickets must be booked in advance.

Driving tests

Your driving test will start with an eyesight check where you will be asked to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres, so make sure you take any visual aids like glasses or contact lenses with you. At car the examiner will ask you a couple of the show me tell me questions which make sure you know how to check your car is in a safe condition to drive and you know how to operate the controls. Next step you will be asked to get into the car and make yourself comfortable, if you were not the last person in the driving seat make sure you complete the cockpit drill so the seat and mirrors are in the right position. The examiner will get into the passenger seat and give you a brief talk on how the test will be conducted. Next its time to move off, don’t let your nerves get the better of you, remember when you get into the car the marking sheet is clear without any errors. The test lasts about 40 minutes, at the end the examiner will tell you that it is the end of the test and if you have passed or not. Should you not be successful it is advised to take advantage of a short debrief the examiner offers, to tell you exactly where and why you went wrong. You may choose to have your instructor present at the debrief, which will enable them to plan any more lessons you need to ensure you pass next time.
