From Claygate


The Elm Road polling station just before the polls closed. The Surrey County Council election attracted national party interest, with both Monica Harding MP and Kemi Badenoch MP turning up, as did a Reform bus. The Lib Dem party machine ensured the vote was won by Andy Burton, who doesn't live in the electoral division. Local independent candidate Mary Marshall didn't have the personal resources to compete.

Welcome to Claygate
For a quintessential English village just eight stops from London Waterloo, you can’t beat Claygate. Recently voted Surrey's sixth best place to live, Claygate features a traditional shopping parade packed with independent outlets, a cute village green and strong community spirit.

Claygate is an idyllic sought-after village, bordered by woods and countryside on three sides and interlacing with Esher and Hinchley Wood on its fourth. Community spirit is high—and the Claygate community calendar reflects that with a packed schedule of events throughout the year. It’s home to the country’s oldest village flower show—the Claygate Flower and Village Show—which takes place on a Saturday in July at the Claygate Recreation Ground, attracting upwards of 6,000 people. And the annual Christmas Lights switch-on is a big event at the end of November, sometimes with a local celebrity doing the honours—Cliff Richard and Ronnie Wood among them.

Claygate may have gained its name from the clay pits in the village that provided bricks for manor houses in much of the surrounding area, including most of Hampton Court Palace. But its origins go back to the Domesday Book of 1086. In the 1820s, the Claygate Pearmain apple was discovered here, growing in a hedge, by John Braddick.
