Where is nonsuch park

We went with my 2 year old and an awful woman with a plummy accent and unrivalled sense of entitlement to match had the audacity to ask if I could pick my child up 'Otherwise he'll be knocked over'! I wish I had taken a picture of the revolting wench - she deserved to have her picture plastered across social media as a warning to any other people who encounter her.

The owner did not get off the bench and said that's for sniffing her bottom. I was shocked but have heard this dog has attacked other dogs. It's a five year old grey and red fur looks like a crufts dog. Please keep clear of this anti social dog and owner. He goes to Mansion House for tea so it's likely the owner would be seen there. If you see this dog with its owner please take a photo to warn others.

Owner is grey haired and short I think they are, South African. We don't tolerate dog attacks here he should muzzle his dog and warn others. It's not acceptable to allow their dog to attack others and its not the dogs fault but the owners.

I was embarrassed in front of my friends and the person concerned really should not be front of house serving the public.

This should be an enjoyable open space but there are a lot of dogs, sometimes off the lead and many with professional walkers with more dogs than they can keep under control.

Many of the shrubs are also festooned with "poo-bags" that the walkers can't be bothered to take home. Why do people do that? Nonsuch Park is great for dog walks and has vast open spaces to enjoy.

The manicured gardens are a nice relaxing place to sit and relax. The coffee shop is a bit pricey but is nice. Nonsuch has a lot of history to it but to me it is a place that has a space in my heart and I am very sentimental about it having been coming here since I was a small child.

It is maybe forty years since we last visited, so our memories were rather hazy! However, since we were in the area we decided to have a walk, most enjoyable on a sunny Spring day.

We were struck by the fact that it is so extensive, although there seemed to be a distinct lack of maps, so we had to keep asking directions. The whole place seemed to be deservedly popular with walkers, many with dogs, but it is so large that there are plenty of quiet areas.

Plenty of seats everywhere and no admission fee! A great place for a walk if you are in the area. We came here earlier this year. Follow the Ewell Road until the road bends sharply to the right. Take the tight left hand turn on this bend just before the war memorial.
