The memorial stands within Manor Park which is situated on Carshalton Road (A232), it is opposite the Police station. Plenty of car parks in Sutton and if you are lucky you may find some street parking nearby. Unfortunately if you want free parking you may have a long walk, unless you are visiting the large DIY store opposite which has free parking for customers for 1-2 hours. Alternatively many buses use the stop outside the park and Sutton railway station is less than 1km away.
