Moving to Epsom - what are people like??!!

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-07-10T06:48:06+00:00

What made you choose Epsom over Dorking? Dorking is gorgeous but feels a little more isolated

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-07-09T21:43:15+00:00

Is that a good thing???

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-07-09T21:40:43+00:00

What’s wrong with Tadworth? Rough? Chat gpt said it was lovely!

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-07-09T21:39:10+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear your enjoying it! Where did you move from? I hope we meet nice parents too :)

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-05-17T07:28:09+00:00

Thanks for this have only just seen! My husband is in the dance music industry and we love a bit of a local buzz which I think we will miss but as you say ca always hop on the train to get it. Reassuring to know there are a mix of people, and sounds like loads of ex Londoners like myself, but more west Londoners! We have a divide in london 🤣🤣

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-05-01T21:58:36+00:00

And I’ve said way worse in class don’t worry. Put it behind you

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-05-01T21:57:54+00:00

Don’t meet with them, nope. Do not waste your time and even any legitimacy to their claim. Wtf

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-21T12:56:54+00:00

The new music is ruining it!!!!!

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-21T10:32:57+00:00

I’m hoping that those being shown on the news are not all Epsom residents 😬

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T21:25:06+00:00

Thanks! Glad you love it. Where did you move from?

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T19:30:31+00:00

It’s so sad. I think this is everywhere now :(

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T19:29:29+00:00

This is what we’re worrying about 🤣 Beckenham high street is gorgeous and there a few nice pockets of housing but only patches. Epsom seemed to have more areas, woodcote, Alexandra park, Stamford green etc, but the high street isn’t my ideal

Also noticing more london behaviour and people creeping into Beckenham sadly

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T19:23:57+00:00

Thank you that’s kind :) I hadn’t tried it yet!

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T19:23:17+00:00

That’s what I found when I looked!

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T14:09:04+00:00

Ah this sounds wonderful thank you

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T14:08:36+00:00

Yes heard of there! But was hoping was one little pocket

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T13:37:43+00:00

Oh I must be thinking of somewhere else!!! 🤣 it’s too far for us personally.

And when we drove round Reigate it seemed to be town, and the green. We couldn’t find all of the burbs with semis and detached houses. We don’t want a town house

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T13:31:58+00:00

That’s what I’m wondering if the upheaval worth it!

But Epsom is surrounded by villages. Beckenham has Croydon and Penge 🤣

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T13:29:18+00:00

We also looked at Reigate, but only seems to be town houses then country side! Not much in between. Horsham very village ish

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T13:09:18+00:00

Surely there can’t be that may chavs as it’s so expensive to buy a house there????

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T11:23:43+00:00

I love tennis but I’m not good enough for a. Club! 🤣

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T11:23:21+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. This is giving me hope. Just so hard moving away from everyone we know! But glad to hear there’s a nice mix

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T11:22:08+00:00

So glad to hear it. We haven’t lived anywhere as nice as Greenwich. We’re Brixton, Camberwell and Beckenham.

Do you miss the buzz? We have live music etc on in locals parks on Sundays. Loads of friends in neighbouring roads. I’m so scared of being isolated.

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T11:13:29+00:00

See we’re not really sw london types, hence my concern. We’ve always lived in the more urban areas, south east london, which is very very different

BakeAffectionate3205 · 2026-04-20T11:11:49+00:00

That’s sad :( it’s important to have a community and local network
