Geography
The village is located on the North Downs, at an altitude of around 750 feet, and is about 1 mile north of the North Downs escarpment and the North Downs Way. It is in a small salient of Surrey into Greater London which is bordered by the London Borough of Bromley to the west, north and east. Biggin Hill is immediately to the north. The boundary with Kent is also near the village, less than 1/2 mile to the south east, and the village forms part of the Westerham post town, which gives Tatsfield residents postal addresses once associated with Kent although county names are no longer needed in UK postal addresses.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
