Introduction to the Borough

The Borough of Epsom & Ewell lies in the County of Surrey, 15 miles southwest of the centre of London.  The Borough neighbours Mole Valley and Reigate & Banstead District Councils to the south, as well as the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to the north, and the London Borough of Sutton to the east.

The Borough is based on the market town of Epsom, the ancient village of Ewell and the centre of Stoneleigh, built in the 1930s.  It is the smallest district in Surrey in both population and size.  It is the most densely populated and has the highest traffic congestion.
