Festival chairman claims addition of 800-tonne crane 'added to the atmosphere of the festival'.
As predicted, engineering works on the St. Mark's hill railway bridge coupled with this year's Surbiton Festival caused major disruption to the area last weekend.
Though the junction was closed again this week for scheduled follow-up work, the project has been considered a success; positioning six thirty-metre beams across the railway in preparation for the project's spring completion.
Hello,
My friend and I are viewing a property in Wentworth close, off Lovelace road, this Saturday. Could anyone tell me about the immediate area?
Regards,

All lines through Surbiton will be closed until 'late morning'.
Work on the St. Mark's Hill railway bridge widening is set to cause more travel chaos this weekend with rail closures in both directions from Surbiton station.
Rail travellers from Berrylands are advised to catch the K2 bus to either Tolworth or Surbiton stations depending on their destination.
This doesn't bode well for this year's Surbiton Festival.

Massive steel beams needed by the railway bridge widening works block access to St. Mark's Hill junction.
The widened road bridge is intended to improve traffic flow from Kingston to the M25, but as the final stages of installation take place, the inevitable snarl-ups are happening. Six 100 foot beams are being places across the railway cutting over September.

The Eden Bookmakers in central Surbiton was robbed at gun point on Wednesday afternoon.
The crime took place at the bookies shop in Saint James' Street which was empty of customers due computer problems. Wearing a white puffer-jacket, sunglasses and a black beanie cap the robber demanded that the solitary cashier hand over the money from the till. He then locked the cashier in the toilets where he remained trapped for 20 minutes until released by a member of the public. The robber was described as being white, 35, 6ft 2ins, of medium build with facial stubble and a London accent.
Police are calling for witnesses on 020 8247 7932.
