Ewell: Surrey Village at the Spring Line Where the Hogsmill River Begins
Ewell sits at the foot of the North Downs in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, about 12 miles south of central London. The population of the Ewell area is around 35,000. The village takes its name from the springs that rise here from the chalk, feeding the Hogsmill River, which John Everett Millais painted as the background for his famous "Ophelia" in 1851. Bourne Hall, in the centre of the village, is a striking 1970s building with a domed roof that houses the local library, museum, and community facilities. The Spring Hotel site on the High Street sits directly above one of the main spring sources.
Ewell Village has a conservation area feel, with the medieval church of St Mary the Virgin, a cluster of Georgian and Victorian buildings, and the open space around Bourne Hall gardens. Ewell West and Ewell East stations provide Southern services to London Waterloo and London Victoria respectively, both taking about 30 minutes. The A24 runs nearby, connecting to the M25 at junction 9. Nonsuch Park, 250 acres of parkland on the site of Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace (demolished in the 1680s), borders the southern edge. For those exploring adult companionship in the Epsom and Ewell area, the rail connections to central London and proximity to Sutton, Epsom, and the M25 make it well positioned.
