Epsom sits in Epsom and Ewell, in the county of Surrey in England, famously on the chalk slopes of the Epsom Downs a short rail ride from London. Once known for its mineral springs - the source of the bitter salts that gave their name to "Epsom salts" - it developed from a market and spa town into a thriving commuter centre with attractive green spaces such as Epsom Common.
The town is best known for the annual Derby at Epsom Downs Racecourse, which still shapes its cultural calendar and brings international visitors to places like Tattenham Corner. Local life mixes independent shops, a modest retail centre, schools including Epsom College, community arts at the Epsom Playhouse, and a largely suburban, economically mixed population commuting to the capital or working in health, education and local services.
