West Clandon

West Clandon is a village in Surrey, England. It is within 4 miles of the M25 and the A3. Nearby villages include Send, Ripley, Ockham, East and West Horsley. Local towns are Woking and Guildford.

It is served by Clandon railway station which runs stopping services via Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon as well as via Epsom to London Waterloo in one direction, and to Guildford in the other. Woking station is about 5 miles away (although there is no direct rail link) and offers many more destinations and a fast service to London.

West Clandon appears in Domesday Book as Clanedun. It was held by Hugo (Hugh) from Edward de Salisbury. Its domesday assets were: 2½ hides; 1 church, 1 mill worth 3s, 2½ ploughs, woodland worth 5 hogs. It rendered £3.

Clandon Park, a Palladian mansion, is in the village, and is open to the public and run by The National Trust.

There are no longer any shops in the village, aside from the Clandon Park gift shop and the Garden Centre. However, the village has two pubs, The Onslow Arms and The Bull's Head, as well as a British Legion. The Onslow Arms closed down for refurbishment in June 2010 and has now re-opened.

Village residents can also join the village social group, called Rompers, which arranges lunches, coffees, cheese and wine, BBQ party and Winter party.
