Claygate is a compact village and civil parish in the borough of Elmbridge, Surrey, around thirteen miles south‑west of central London. It sits in the green belt between Esher and Oxshott, retains a conservation area of Victorian‑era cottages and tree‑lined streets, and benefits from regular rail services that make it a popular commuter base.
Historically the village grew up around local clay pits and a modest brick‑and‑tile industry, a legacy still reflected in some older buildings. Today Claygate feels villagey and community‑minded, with an active programme of clubs, local shops and pubs, sports teams and annual events, while being surrounded by woodland and open space that appeals to families and walkers.
