This is an excellent area for people of all ages. Our adult daughters have been riding at a local riding school since they were just three years old, as a family we have enjoyed country walks in the North Downs, the Kenley Aerodrome and a local petting farm where people can meet the animals as they walk through the charming country path through the fields. Now pubs and cafes are open again, a country walk ending with a drink at one of our local pubs / inns or a coffee at one of our many local cafes - (we missed them all so much during the recent lockdowns). We have tennis and badminton courts in the beautiful Queens Park, just across the road from our house, and a bowling club, mini golf, croquet and a children's playground and in the summer you can sit on the green with a picnic and watch a traditional game of cricket in the perfect setting or take the children to the playground and treat yourselves to an excellent Kelly's ice-cream from the kiosk there. If you are here in November, you can enjoy the Caterham Dene spectacular firework display also from the park or from the windows in the two suites on the middle floor, if you would rather admire it in the comfort and warmth of your own home. Our local King and Queen pub nearby often stage Plays and events from their makeshift outdoor theatre and the Miller Centre amateur dramatics theatre in Caterham can certainly match the London stage in excellence but at a fraction of the cost.
This area is safe and virtually crime free compared to other more central areas, yet we still have easy access to London whenever we want it. London Bridge is an hour or less away by train and Gatwick is just 20 minutes away,
