New Malden

SuburbLondon, England

New Malden is a SUB AREA in London, England.

New Malden, a vibrant suburb in southwest London, is famously known as 'Little Korea' due to its large Korean community.

Beyond the Korean influence, the area offers green spaces like New Malden Golf Course and the scenic Hogsmill River, perfect for a peaceful walk. The town blends suburban charm with easy access to central London via frequent trains. Explore the local library, enjoy a coffee at a trendy café, or join the annual Korean Festival for a taste of culture. New Malden is a hidden gem for foodies and those seeking a quieter London base.

Entry and health

Health information

"The UK has a public healthcare system (NHS) that provides free emergency care to all visitors. For non-emergencies, you may need to pay for services unless you have a reciprocal health agreement. Pharmacies are widely available for minor ailments. Travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover any medical costs. Tap water is safe to drink."

Culture

Local customs

"British customs apply: queue politely, say 'please' and 'thank you', and avoid loud conversations. In Korean-owned businesses, a slight bow or nod is appreciated. Tipping is not mandatory but 10% is common in restaurants for good service. Dress is casual but smart-casual for dining out."
