About

Caterham West is a ward in Tandridge, Surrey, covering the western section of the town of Caterham. The area is largely residential, with a mix of terraced and semi‑detached streets, local shops along the High Street and small parades, primary schools and a community centre. Daily services such as grocers, post office facilities and a medical practice are clustered close to the main roads, while council housing and private estates reflect the town’s expansion from the late 19th century. Street names and plot patterns show the gradual growth around the rail and road links that shape the ward.

Transport is centred on the Caterham branch line: the line terminates at Caterham station and provides services via Purley to London Bridge, which influences commuting patterns. Several bus routes serve the ward and connect it with neighbouring parts of Tandridge. To the west the ground rises toward the North Downs and public footpaths lead into open land used for walking and cycling. The area falls under Tandridge District Council and community activities are based around the recreation ground and the community centre.
