AREA GUIDE
Great Bookham and Little Bookham, collectively known as Bookham, are two neighbouring villages dating back to Saxon times. Surrounded by National Trust countryside, and on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the North Downs, Bookham was once a farming community and whilst the villages have grown around much of the original farmlands, the residential areas remain interspersed with paddocks and woodlands, and are edged by green spaces.

This family oriented Surrey village, between the towns of Guildford and Leatherhead, offers semi-rural life with good accessibility to London.

Great Bookham has a thriving high street with traditional, independent retailers including butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers, bakers and a hardware store. These are mixed with artisan and lifestyle shops and cafes, whilst the villages are also home to local pubs and restaurants.
Bookham and Fetcham have a mix of accommodation from small flats to detached homes with gardens, with the balance weighted towards four bedroom and larger village properties, making the area popular with young families and couples.
