• Theres so much to love about Oxted! This pretty,
  historic town famed for its large Arts Crafts
  houses, timber framed stucco buildings and
  bustling high street, is situated at the foot of
  the North Downs in the Surrey Hills Area of
  Outstanding Beauty (AONB).
• Known as a wealthy commuter or stockbroker belt
  town, it was listed in the top twenty richest
  towns in Britain by the Daily Telegraph in 2011,
  but has been a favourite of city workers since
  the railway arrived in 1884 and linked the
  growing settlement to London and the South Coast.
  Oxted offers great transport links to the M25, by
  rail to London Bridge (33 minute direct train)
  and London Victoria (39 minutes), by Thameslink
  to St Pancras or Ashford for the Eurostar and
  direct train services to London Luton and easy
  access by car to both Gatwick (42 minutes) and
  Heathrow airports.
• Historically, Oxted has always been a convenient
  stop-off between London and the South Coast,
  being the site of Roman Roads and ancient routes.
