Places to Take Auntie Nellie

Be civilised and enjoy afternoon tea in one of the beautiful country house hotels such as Cannizaro House Hotel in Wimbledon or the Petersham in Richmond

If she's the fun-loving type why not take a gamble and go to "the dogs" at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium

Some of the smallest museums and heritage centres are also the most interesting. Try Honeywood Heritage Centre in Sutton, the Wandsworth Town Musem or Merton Heritage Centre

Light up Auntie's Nellie's life or add a touch of romance to yours with a visit to Price's Candle Factory Shop

Take a river trip along the Thames with R J Turk and Sons

Enjoy a picnic in Richmond Park or Battersea Park, or perhaps try a paddle in the shallow River Wandle in Beddington Park

Visit one of the lesser known houses or palaces like Southside House in Wimbledon, Kew Palace, or Whitehall in Cheam, perhaps followed by afternoon tea.

Visit your local Visitor or Tourist Information Centre and find out more about your local area and what there is to see and do - not only will you impress Auntie Nellie, you'll probably surprise yourself

Enjoy the bargain prices at a Matinee theatre performance - try Wimbledon Theatre, the Orange Tree or Richmond Theatre or the Secombe Theatre in Sutton

Take her to find out more about the history of tennis and enjoy a tour of Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum

Visit one of the nearby National Trust properties like Claremont Gardens near Surbiton or Morden Hall Park in Merton

Maybe Auntie Nellie isn't the "blue rinse" type and would feel more at home finding out more about brewing beer than a home brew of tea - take her to Youngs Brewery Visitor Centre in Wandsworth

Join a guided walk in Kingston or Richmond and find out more about the familiar streets and places of interest
