Epsom is regularly praised as being one of the best places to live in the UK. As befits the home of the Epsom Derby, the town offers a number of top quality equestrian shops and outfitters. But there’s much more to discover, including continental-style cafés, a monthly farmers’ market (on the first Sunday of every month) and a whole host of big high street names – from H&M and House of Fraser to Pandora and Waitrose.
The Epsom Playhouse in the centre of the town is a jewel of a theatre, hosting a whole range of professional and community productions and a highly popular Summer Film Season. You’ll also find a superb range of restaurants and eateries including The Bamboo Basket (tip – the noodles are amazing) and La Familia, renowned for its home-made, authentic tapas. Epsom is not only a delightful place to live, but it’s a place where there’s no shortage of things to see and do.
