About

Dorking South lies within the Mole Valley district on the southern side of Dorking town. The area combines housing, local shops and stretches of green space, with the River Mole running nearby. Two railway stations sit within a short walk of each other — Dorking Deepdene on the North Downs Line and the main Dorking station on the Mole Valley route — providing regular rail links to surrounding towns and to London. Local streets contain a mix of housing types and small commercial parades that serve everyday needs.

Community facilities include primary schools, a community centre and sports pitches, and clubs for football and cricket. Pubs and independent shops cluster close to the centre and a weekly market in the town centre is within easy walking distance. Footpaths lead from the southern streets up to the chalk slopes of the North Downs, giving direct access to longer rides and walks across the Surrey Hills. The built environment shifts over short distances, from Victorian terraces to mid-20th-century estates, reflecting phases of local development.
