Kingswood is a classic Surrey village with a real sense of community, mixing quiet, leafy residential avenues with a selection of shops and other amenities. Waterhouse Lane is the de facto ‘high street’ and is home to a number of businesses, including a well-stocked village store and post office, an Indian takeaway, Coughlans Bakery, a pet shop and a family-run café, as well as the popular Kingswood Arms pub and restaurant.
Living in Kingswood means having plenty of opportunity to get involved in local group activities and events, from flower arranging and amateur dramatics to seasonal celebrations and charity fundraisers. The neighbouring village of Tadworth offers more shops, restaurants and other facilities, including a traditional butchers and a long-established purveyor of fresh fish, poultry and game. For all your everyday shopping needs, there are supermarkets in Burgh Heath and Banstead, just north of Upper Kingswood.
