About

Epsom Town forms the historic commercial core of the Epsom and Ewell borough. The area is centred around the High Street, which features a mix of independent shops, national retailers, and local services. This central zone includes the Ashley Centre shopping mall and is anchored by the Epsom Playhouse, a prominent venue for theatre and live performances. The layout retains a traditional market town feel, with narrow side streets branching off the main thoroughfare.

Immediately to the south lies the expansive Epsom Common, a large area of woodland and heathland. The town is globally linked to the Epsom Derby, though the famous racecourse is actually located at Epsom Downs, a distinct area to the south. The residential streets near the centre are characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, providing a direct link to the town's development during that period.
