I know it's in Hook rather than Surbiton, but I was wondering if anyone had any photos or memories/knowledge etc of the Ace of Spades back in the hay day i.e. the roadhouse that was there etc etc and any knowledge of the significance it had if any for bikers. Thanks.

What a great shame the old red lion pub has closed down. I lived in red lion road for many years also worked in the pub many times with Maurice the owner and George and Mary bar managers.What a lovely pub it was had my 18th birthday in there even though been drinking in there with my parents fred and kathy wilson for a few years before !!!! Couldent do it now. Lets hope another pub group opens up in tolworth before it dies a death. I live in bournemouth now, loads of pubs. I feel sorry for the loss of a pub to residents of red lion road and tolworth. Charlie wilson

Does anyone know which taxi firm is the cheapest from Surbiton to Gatwick airport

Going tonight so any quick suggestions greatly appreciated :)

It has become thinner each week, this week's pages are full of Royal Wedding Street Parties. Is it worth printing it any more ? It hardly contains any news and doesn't inform us of anything useful!

Hi everyone

Me and another local lady are organising the following event and would love it if anyone else from the area would like to get involved on the day:

Join us as we improve the Elmbridge Meadows / Hogsmill River area with a site clean up & litter pick.

All you need are gloves, strong footwear, suitable clothing and a packed lunch.

Meet near the Green Lane cycle path adjacent to Elmbridge Avenue.

Sunday 8th May 10:30 am - 2:30 pm

(This event is being organised with the support of Kingston Council)

Hello, Everyone,

I'm moving to a flat near Surbiton Station, hopefully this month or next. The flat needs quite a bit of work: walls moved, new floors, new kitchen, new bathroom, some electrics redone, redecorating etc. Are there any local firms you recommend? I'm looking for a company that's fast, friendly and honest. Too much to ask?

Alternatively, are there any sites where I can find trustworthy recommendations?

Apologies if this type of post isn't allowed but I don't know anybody locally to ask.

By the way, what's the name of someone from Surbiton. Is it "Surbitonian"?

These days a lot of people are facing career dilemmas, for example what to do to be happy, how to get back into work, how to cope with overload, etc.

A couple of innovations are happening in Surbiton which readers may like to know about. The first is a free event open to all, the second is an invitation to join a affordable form of career coaching in groups.

The free event is the Career Dilemmas London Meetup, taking place on Wednesday 27th April at 6.30pm at the Hotel Bosco Lounge. The Meetup can be booked only here http://www.meetup.com/Career-Dilemmas-London/events/17356684/

Hi,

I am looking to join / set up a book club in Surbiton. I'm in my early 20s and love to read and would like to find others who are also interested in reading and sharing a bottle of wine! Get in touch if you know about an existing book club or would be interested in meeting up!

I live on St Andrews Square and am looking for a good window cleaner to clean very tall sash windows - could anyone recommend any?
Many thanks!

Hi all,

I am looking at buying on Hook Road, just up from the Maypole pub and the garage opposite. The road seems a bit scruffy in places and was wondering what the road is really like to live on and the broader local area. Is it on the up or on the decline?
