Horton is a compact, largely residential ward in the borough of Epsom and Ewell, Surrey, tucked close to Epsom town centre and the open spaces of Epsom Downs and Epsom Common. The neighbourhood mixes Victorian and post‑war housing with pockets of green space, giving it a suburban feel while remaining within easy reach of central London by road and rail.
Historically the area is known for the former Horton Hospital, one of the large psychiatric hospitals that shaped the local landscape and was largely redeveloped for housing in recent decades. Today Horton retains a villagey community spirit with local shops, pubs and community groups, and benefits from the nearby recreational countryside that draws walkers and racegoers to the Downs. The place name itself reflects old English roots, typically interpreted as a farm on muddy soil, which hints at its longer agricultural past.
