What locals say about Sutton
“Sutton has a lot going for it, and with plenty of money being invested in the area, things can only get better. It has great schools, shopping, bars and restaurants, as well as being half an hour into central London for the commuters amongst us. It's a great place for families with a good range of houses in safe residential areas. We moved here from South West London 10 years ago and quickly made friends in the area. If you want to go for a night out in central London, you can easily get a train back or grab an Uber for not much more. On the weekends we can walk the dog on Nonsuch Park or The Oaks, go out for a Sunday lunch at any number of places, or have a relaxing barbecue with friends. If you like golf you are spoiled for choice, with a large number of high quality courses within 20 minutes of our front door... ”

“Sutton actually has a lot going for it. Some of the best schools in the country including Sutton Grammar School and the parks such as Nonsuch Park are great too, with excellent facilities. Transport links are great with regular trains to Victoria, Clapham Junction and London Bridge and most in less than 30 minutes. Cheam is a lovely village in the borough of Sutton with some of the largest houses I have ever seen! With such great proximity to London you get the best of both worlds. ”

So many fabulous hits to be covered but they’re all here, from the early piano and harmony heavy wonders of Killer Queen and Don’t Stop Me Now, to the later, catchy pop anthems of the eighties. The second hour concentrates on the later hits and once again there is an array of brilliance to embrace. The stunning, Breakthru provides both the introduction and the costume presentation for this part of the set which includes a new feature of the Bohemians stage show, a slick rendering of classics from the late eighties and early nineties era. I Want it all, The Show must go on and the haunting, Days of our Lives are just some of those featured. The set then pay tribute to the sights and sounds of the famous Live Aid performance and of course, the awesome Bohemian Rhapsody. Then it’s back to Wembley ‘86 for a spectacular finale when The Bohemians will have you on your feet, singing, dancing and clapping along to the likes of Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. A climax to a truly memorable live re-enactment of the world’s greatest Rock Band.Read more
