Great Bookham

Bookham is a vibrant, picturesque village surrounded by glorious countryside yet within easy reach of London.

In order to protect Bookham's historic charm, a lot of Bookham High Street and Church Road is in a conservation area. In fact, the village dates back to the Saxon settlement of Bocham, "the village by the Beeches". With thriving local shops, cafes and restaurants including a butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer, bakeries, gift shops, Post Office and small supermarket, Bookham has everything for day-to-day living.

Bookham's railway station, on the London Waterloo line has a journey time of around 55 minutes to Waterloo, ideal for commuting. The M25 can be joined at junction 9 with easy access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

Surrounded by National Trust countryside, open farmland, woods and commons, Bookham is ideal for families, walkers, runners, cyclists and horse-riding. Polesden Lacey, a National Trust house and gardens is just over a mile away from Bookham High Street.

The area is served by well-regarded schools in both the private and state sectors.
