StreetAdvisor - your street, your voice

A large Surrey-based village located between Guildford and Leatherhead, Great Bookham is the birthplace of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters. Nestled amongst villages such as Effingham, West Horsley, East Horsley, Fetcham, North Downs, Dorking and Clandon, Great Bookham is a great location for retirees and families who enjoy country living but proximity to central London. The local high street plays host to a butcher, baker, fishmongers, two greengrocers, estate agencies and four pubs and the common provides residents with a place to jog, walk the dog, play football or just relax. Great Bookham and the smaller Little Bookham are rich wildlife sites and home to all three species of British newt. This makes it an ideal location for visiting students as well as families with young children. Although there are no schools based in the immediate area, there are schools for children of all ages in the neighbouring villages.
