Whilst providing a popular suburban base for commuters and families, Epsom manages to retain the feel of its lively past as a market town; The High Street (~10 minute walk) at Epsom is wide and plays host to a Saturday and Thursday Market around the Clock Tower. The Ashley Centre, on one side, is a covered shopping mall offering all the usual High Street suspects, along with the adjoining Epsom Playhouse, a lively theatre which puts on a wide range of entertainment and runs workshops. A new Odeon cinema has opened on Upper High Street. Good sports facilities, including swimming, can be found at The Rainbow leisure centre. There are a wide variety of cafes, restaurants and pubs in the town and these can take on something of a carnival atmosphere around Derby Day. Surrounding the town, the rolling greenery of Epsom Downs and Epsom Common offer plenty of recreational possibilities and there is also an pleasant network of parks (begun with Lord Rosebery's donation of the land for Rosebery Park) Epsom has a huge selection of state and private schools, including the highly regarded Epsom College (~15minute walk), St Christopher's pre-prep school ~5minute walk and City of London Freemen's School a circa 5-10 minute drive. The town's amenities make it an ideal family location.
