Ewell is a village in the borough of Epsom and Ewell in Surrey, close to the southern boundary of Greater London. It is located 14 miles (22.5 km) south-south-west of Charing Cross and forms part of the suburbia that surrounds Greater London.
Despite its growing population it is still referred to as a village by locals and largely maintains a rural character. Ewell is at the head of the Hogsmill river, a tributary of the River Thames, and the spring has likely been considered sacred dating back into pre-history.
Neighbouring towns and villages include Cheam, Chessington, Epsom, Stoneleigh and Tolworth.
Stoneleigh is an area of Epsom and Ewell in Surrey, centred around Stoneleigh railway station and Stoneleigh Broadway. Much of the area was just open fields prior to the early 1930s when most of the estate was developed, now being populated almost entirely by semi-detached housing.
The red brick Anglican church of St John the Baptist, next to the station, was built around the same time. Stoneleigh comprises Stoneleigh Ward and Auriol Ward, wards in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell.
Stoneleigh ward has a population of 4,700 people, an increase of 3.6% from 1991, with 2,378 females compared to 2,322 males. Auriol ward is the smallest in the Borough with a population of 3687 people, a decrease of 19% from 1991, with 1,858 females compared to 1,829 males.
This decrease in population can be directly attributed to the area lost to Ewell Court ward, where the population increased by 19%. Females slightly out-number males in both wards (a trend seen both Borough and county wide).
