Bookham West is an electoral ward in Mole Valley, Surrey, England, covering the western side of the village area around Great Bookham. It has a suburban‑village feel, with a mix of older period houses and post‑war estates, local shops, schools and active community groups; many residents commute into London or nearby Leatherhead for work, so the local economy is a blend of small businesses and commuter households.
The ward sits against the green belt and countryside that characterises much of the district, with easy access to riverside walks by the River Mole and networks of footpaths into the Surrey Hills fringes. There’s a strong sense of local history and community - church and village‑centre events, conservation areas and a compact high street help preserve the village character while serving a modern, family‑oriented population.
