Using the Park: Nonsuch Park and Cheam Park (in the east) are jointly managed by Epsom & Ewell District Council and the London Borough of Sutton. Warren Farm in the south is owned by the Woodland Trust. There is a café near to Nonsuch Mansion House. The London Loop footpath passes through the area.
Some history: Nonsuch Park is the last remaining fragment of a deer park created by Henry VIII around Nonsuch Palace and is now part of the Green Belt. Nonsuch Palace was a pinnacle of Tudor England and was created as a non-pareil, a palace without equal. The Palace was demolished in the 1680s. Nonsuch Mansion House can be found on the site – a Grade II listed house designed in the manner of Nonsuch Palace and now used for weddings and public events. The 53ha of Warren Farm was given to the Woodland Trust in 1994 as part of an arrangement when housing development took place nearby.
