The core of Honeywood dates from the 17th century but the building has many later additions including major extensions of 1896 and 1903 when it was a house owned by John Pattinson Kirk, a London merchant. The house is rich in period detail and much of the interior has recently been restored to the 1903 colour scheme. There is a billiards room with its original Edwardian table and fittings.
Honeywood contains displays on the history of the local area including Henry VIII and Nonsuch Palace, the River Wandle, Victorian Carshalton, Edwardian toys and local railways. There are hands-on children's activities and crafts. Also to be seen are many fine paintings showing the local area in the 19th and early 20th centuries. There is also a Gift Shop, with a fine array of unusual gifts, souvenirs and local history publications for all the family more....
