Merstham

Merstham is a residential area situated on the northern slopes of the North Downs. It contains a mix of housing developments from different periods, with older properties near the historic village centre and more modern estates on its fringes. The main railway line to London passes through here, with the station providing direct links to the capital. Local shops and services are concentrated along the High Street, catering to daily needs.

The area is crossed by the M25 motorway, which runs through a deep cutting and tunnel south of the main settlement. Open spaces include Quality Street, a large recreational ground, and the woodland of Merstham Recreation Ground. The Harps, a former manor house, is a notable historic building. The presence of the motorway and railway creates distinct neighbourhoods, separating the older core from more recent housing to the east.
