Hi - I'm looking for a a top class English tutor for a 9 year old. They must be an Oxbridge graduate and of the highest standard. Does anyone have anyone they could reccommend for 1:1 home tutoring? Thank you. Henry

Just to add yet another tale of rising scum levels in sunny Surbiton. Shopping with the wife 2 weeks ago about 630 pm in Sainsbury in Victoria Rd. We were accosted by a 6 foot plus menacing weirdo as we boarded the lift outside demanding money from us –we ignore him (usually the sanest reaction one can think of). He FOLLOWS us (this is true - the nutter is committed - and he should be) up to the 1st floor of the car park complaining that we ignored him (10 out 10 for his observational skills) – this is the part where I am getting annoyed. I explain that we have no money.

Quotes from Leslie ..

“Surbiton is safe as far as it can be”

“Surbiton is safe. The main source of trouble is not the YMCA”

“The police were great. Within 5 minutes of my 999 call they were there and they took me in a van to the Cambridge Estate”

“The fact that the muggers were not caught was not the polices fault”

“I walk around Kingston & Surbiton from about 3.45am 5-6 days a week. Only once in the last 6 years was that a problem”

He goes to ONE meeting at the YMCA, meet the manager and the Cops and the sun shines out of their butts

Hello oh lovely residents of Surbiton!! I really want to move to the area to be closer to work / friends etc. but struggling to find anywhere!! as in... there just doesnt seem to be places coming up. Can anyone suggest a good place for me to start?? Gumtree just isn't cutting the mustard!

Thank you

Does anyone know anyone local who has any kittens that need homes? Don't want to use a pet shop, so any names of breeders or private sellers much appreciated.
Thanks very much

The last few times that I have been to Waterloo late I have noticed that the last service to Surbiton at 01:05 has not appeared on the boards, even as cancelled.

I have checked the national rail website and it is still listed on there, but does it run consistently?

Hi,

I'm just being curious with this...but since we are developing a nice little "online" community here, what are backgrounds of everyone? What jobs do y'all do?

Nothing too detailed mind; we all like our privacy ;) I'm just being nosey...

I'm searching for volunteer opportunities in Surbiton. Does anyone know where to start? Think old people, environment clean up, youth mentor, etc. Thanks!

An update on what I have found out about Claremont Hall, I know there had been speculation as to its use.

To recap this hall was one of the few premises that still had an intact impressive historic interior as can be seen at the following website.

It has now been turned into a commercial nursery, I have attached the link that provides further details of the development.

I'm sure this has been done before but here is the musical version of Surbiton YMCA (thanks to Village People for tune):

Young man! there's no need to feel down
I said, young man! Come to Surbiton town,
I said, young man! There's a place you can go
There's no need to get a job now

Young man, if you want to score weed
I said, young man! crack cocaine, LSD
I said, young man! Here I know you will find
Many ways to get out of your mind

At Surbiton town's doss hole Y-M-C-A
The drugs and alcohol Y-M-C-A
They have nothing there that
A young man won't enjoy
