Here at Craven House we join with many across our nation to mourn the loss of our beloved monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. With quiet dignity, and humble leadership she stood at the helm of our country for a truly outstanding 70 years, making her the second longest reigning monarch of all time. Looking out over […]

Whilst it’s true we’re only a stone’s throw (or a fairly quick train ride) from the streets and feasts of London – if you’re looking for something a bit different to the city slicking then we’ve got good news.  To save you some planning time, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite Surrey spots and [...]
