About Honeywood Museum

Honeywood Museum is a Grade II listed building overlooking picturesque Carshalton Ponds in the heart of Carshalton's historic Conservation Area. Surrounded by historic buildings and water-features the locality forms one of the most interesting and attractive areas in Greater London. The Museum re-opened, after a complete refurbishment following a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, in May 2012 and has increasingly become a popular attraction renowned for its family-friendly welcome, and its wide range of activities and events for all ages. ​The building has a history that dates back to the mid-17th century, with Victorian and Edwardian extensions, including a fine Billiard Room, Drawing Room and Victorian Scullery. There are exhibitions which tell the fascinating history of the house and the people who lived there, and illustrate the history of the Borough of Sutton, the development of Carshalton from its entry as Aultone in the Doomsday Book to the thriving village it has become, and the historic environs of the River Wandle.
Honeywood is owned by the London Borough of Sutton and run by council staff assisted by volunteers supported by both the council and The Friends. The Friends are currently providing financial assistance to Sutton council with the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the building and its grounds.

​​Visitors are welcome to take photographs, so long as it is done sensibly and with respect to other visitors.
Picture
The Museum has an on-going diary of events, regular events and exhibitions which illuminate the history of many aspects of the Borough of Sutton, and a fascinating range of topics beyond. Families are warmly welcomed! Look out for the delightful collection of Edwardian toys on display in the Childhood Room and visit the lovely tea room and The Friends' Shop with its range of publications, greetings cards, pocket-money toys and unusual gifts. The Friends support all this, and very much more.
