Less than 30 minutes from London, yet surrounded by picturesque Surrey countryside, Claygate's excellent amenities ensures it offers so much more than the archetypal commuter village. Claygate has long been renowned as a perfect place to live, with its vibrant village atmosphere and strong community spirit. Fresh fish, free-range meat and game and just-baked bread are just a few of the items available from The Parade's range of independent stores, while the eclectic mix of pubs, cafés, and restaurants offers something for every taste. Nearby Esher offers a wider selection of shops and services, and the sophisticated hubs of Kingston-upon-Thames and Guildford host designer shopping and high street names, all within a short drive.

Schooling in the area is superb with the Claremont Fan Court School, Milbourne Lodge, Shrewsbury Lodge and Rowan Preparatory School all nearby, along with the prestigious Danes Hill in Oxshott and the ACS International School and Notre Dame in Cobham. Sports and leisure facilities abound from tennis, cricket and football clubs to a karting circuit and a ski centre, with superb golf courses ay every turn: Surbiton and Chessington golf clubs are the closest to hand. Nearby Sandown Park and Epsom host racing, Brooklands offers motoring and Chessington World of Adventures is great for all the family. Surrounded by green belt woodland and farmland, the area around Claygate is one of great natural beauty. In every direction there is parkland: Claygate Common, Telegraph Hill and the forests of Prince's Coverts are perfect for walking, horse riding and cycling. Hampton Court provides history and heritage, while Claremont Gardens at Esher is also worth regular visits.

Just 30 minutes from Waterloo, with trains every half an hour (more frequently at peak times), it's no wonder that Claygate is so popular with commuters. By car, the A244 gives you direct access to both the A3 Portsmouth Road (2 miles away) and the M25 (10 minutes' drive). Heathrow, Gatwick, the M23 and the south coast are within easy reach, while Kingston-upon-Thames is just 5 miles away and central London is 17 miles.
