EPSOM, SURREY

Epsom is a town in the county of Surrey, about 15 miles south-west of London. Epsom is part of the borough of Epsom and Ewell.

Situated on the edge of the rolling Surrey hills yet with easy access to the facilities of London, the borough’s rich heritage was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, and then regularly over the centuries by leading chroniclers such as Pepys and Dickens.

Epsom’s long tradition as a racing stronghold takes on an international slant when it hosts the world famous Derby across some of the most beautiful downland in the country. Epsom & Ewell is a modern borough with a population of over 70,000.

TRANSPORT LINKS

The international airports of Heathrow and Gatwick are virtually equidistant, and junction 9 of the M25 is only a few miles by car. This makes Epsom an ideal location for leisure, as well as for head office development. The borough supports no fewer than four railway stations. Epsom Station, placed opportunely in the town centre, provides a regular service to London. The journey takes between 20 and 30 minutes and trains run every half hour (more frequently in the rush hour). Ewell East, Ewell West and Stoneleigh stations are located conveniently throughout the borough. There are also several bus routes that service the area. The main service provider, Epsom Buses, has been established in the borough since 1920. Buses from Kingston and Sutton link the surrounding villages with the bustling town centres.

Epsom railway station has frequent rail services to London (running to both Waterloo and Victoria), and also to Leatherhead, Dorking, Guildford, Horsham and Croydon. Two other railway lines were built to serve the racecourse, with termini at Epsom Downs and Tattenham Corner.
