Once home to Henry VIII’s grand Nonsuch Palace, the parkland has witnessed royal splendour, destruction, and transformation.

The park features historical elements such as the 18th-century Nonsuch Mansion, a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture.
Nearby, the remains of formal gardens hint at the estate’s former grandeur.
One reviewer on TripAdvisor said: “This place emphasises the tranquillity of Cheam.
“It has nice walking areas, that are kept well, and a good cafe.
“It benefits from being set back from the main roads, which helps to give a quiet feeling of near countryside in an urban area.”
Another reviewer said: “I have visited this park on many occasions with friends, my dog, and alone.
“It is a beautiful place, that has lovely places to walk, and a quiet place that doesn’t allow dogs.
“It’s ideal for family picnics, and for children to run around.”

One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “We visited during December and there were wonderful craft activities for children and a snowball hunt.
“The people that run the events are so welcoming.
“Furthermore, all the activities were free.
“There is a nice cafe there too, although more kid friendly items on the menu would be good.”
