You could start by parking in Carshalton High Street and take the short medium pace 10min picturesque walk through Grove Park, following the River Wandle to Mill Lane and River Gardens for the Vaughan's. Or park closer and drive back into town.  When you turn right out of the Vaughans, walk straight and follow Mill Lane, crossing over the road by the Sun Pub to visit Jackie Smith and then Peter Lawson opposite.  You could take in the historic landmark Carshalton Water Tower (only open Sundays). This will bring you back towards Honeywood Museum via Festival Walk and the amazing historic collection of the boroughs artwork, exclusively curated especially for CAOS. At Honeywood you could rest and have a coffee, sandwich, something hot or an Ice cream.  Here you can also buy cards from some of the artists. Have you found any of Doug Shaw's free art drops yet?
