Local Tourism for Haydons Road

A really enthusiastic staff – well-trained and eager to help make for a fantastic holiday. A special thanks to the captain, Alexey Yasnov, the hotel manager Franz Wusits ,the programme manager, Yulia Stefanovska, the chef, Danilo Mielke, the Maitre D –Filipe Ribeiro, and Elena Evstafyeva. They all made our cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg really special and I would advise it as a super vacation to go on.

Danube River Cruise on the Freya. We enjoyed all aspects aboard the Freya. Our stateroom was well appointed and looked after constantly by our young lady. The catering/waiting staff were friendly and extremely obliging as was Oliver our Cruise Manager. Our Captain, Norbut was delightful, in fact the entire crew could not have been more helpful and charming. We only have a couple of criticisms 1) Our tour of Vienna was too short and if we had not visited before we would have not known how beautiful it is, there was no mention of its rich Art Nouveau architecture, we were shown no examples of Otto Wagner's work or any reference to it for example. We were not alone in thinking that you would be well advised to extend the stop in Vienna and cut out one of the other stops along the river. 2) We were also very disappointed with the location of our final berthing at Erlangan, the berth was accessed through a dusty Industrial Estate housing a Ready Mix Concrete Plant,a storage depot for Rock Salt and if that was not bad enough these areas were surrounded by walls covered in disgusting grafiti. This fell well short of our expectations and Viking's usual standards. Some guests remained on the boat until mid afternoon waiting to go to the airport(s). I cannot imagine what new guests must have felt arriving there for the beginning of their "luxury"cruise.

Lovely, well kept, very popular local park. No specific sports facilities, but lots of space for kickabouts, tree climbing and bike laps. Supported by a local community group. Excellent independent coffee shop in the western corner.

Beautifully clean and well kept. Unfortunately/fortunately they have a gate that's locked around 8ish maybe earlier... climbing it isn't easy either but well worth it😁😊

Nice park for kids and for dog walking. It has 3 park sections all with activities anyone could enjoy. They have a basket ball court.ut is next to popler primary school and has a scooter park open to the public but owned by the school.

Beautiful park. Nice playground and scooter park and lovely field and wall garden to play in. Some trees are perfect for climbing too.

This park provides a varied and beautiful walking relaxing experience on Wimbledon’s door step. The dynamic of the park works well with its beautiful plants and paths ways that beam with both light and adventure. Perfect on a sunny day and best ended either at the restaurant or on the large open grass area for a picnic or frisbee throw session

Great park a real hidden gem. I came here for kids treasure hunt in and around Italian gardens. A great place for a picnic with the family. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of public toilet. We did ask the hotel/restaurant to use theirs but they can't expect to accommodate the world and his wife traipsing through. It looks like there was a public toilet but looks like it's been locked for many years - something for Merton council to sort out!
