Leatherhead is a town in Surrey, England on the right bank of the River Mole, and at the edge of the contiguous built-up area of London. Its local district is Mole Valley. Records exist of the place from Anglo Saxon England. It has a combined theatre and cinema, which is at the centre of the re-modelling following late 20th century pedestrianisation. The bypass streets to the town centre close and feature annually in the London-Surrey cycle classic which is ranked by the world's cycling federation.
Just north-east of the midpoint of Surrey[n 1] and at a junction of ancient north–south and east–west roads, elements of the town have been a focus for transport throughout its history. A main early spur to this was the construction of the bridge over the seasonally navigable River Mole in the early medieval period. Later the Swan Hotel provided 300 years of service to horse-drawn coaches. In the late 20th century the M25 motorway was built nearby.
In 1986, the town was joined to the UK motorway system, when the M25 motorway was built to the north. Leatherhead became Junction 9, which has odd non-aligned entry/exit points on the two sides. The town is perhaps most frequently mentioned in the national media as the location of motorway traffic jams and accidents.
The symbol of Leatherhead is a swan holding a sword in its beak. This can be seen on the old Leatherhead coat of arms, and on the Mole Valley coat of arms. The insignia of Leatherhead Football Club includes a swan, as do the logos of the Swan Shopping Centre, Therfield School and the leisure centre.
North Leatherhead or Leatherhead Common is the area north of the Kingston Road Bridge, bordered to the north by Leatherhead Golf Course, Ashtead Common and the M25 motorway and to the south by the railway which forks by the town centre. It includes the town's main secondary school, Therfield School, and part of the Trinity School, as well as the bulk of the town's social housing.
Leatherhead formerly had a number of light manufacturing businesses, such as the Ronson's lighter factory, but in and around the 1980s many closed or moved on. Recent years have seen the emergence of several industrial parks, and the town has attracted many service and headquarters operations, including well known companies.
Leatherhead is served by Leatherhead railway station. Over the years, however, Leatherhead has had four railway stations, two of which were only temporary and survived for about eight years from the railway's first opening in 1859.

High, Bridge and North streets. Ian Nairn writes in The Buildings of England: Surrey (1962): 'Perhaps the most pitiful of Surrey small towns....Apart from the church, no building is worth a visit.'

M/S as Mr Ship and Miss Cox walk towards a large incubator-type cabinet. To remove a sample of the plum pudding they work with their rubber-gloved hands sticking through circular holes in the cabinet, avoiding any contamination from outside bacteria. M/Ss and C/Us as Mr Ship swabs the can with antiseptic; Miss C holds the can in place as Mr Ship hammers a rod into the lid to puncture it and draws out a sample of the food in a glass rod. The sample is placed in a large test-tube that contains dark liquid and has cotton wool stuffed in the top of it; then a sample of the liquid is put into some smaller test-tubes. M/S as Miss C takes a large test-tube and walks out of shot.

M/S of Mr Selby standing before a different piece of equipment with glass piping filled with liquid; M/Ss and C/Us as he moves a piece of rubber piping up and down, making the liquid move up and down in the glass; he then examines them and makes a note of it.

A Look Around Whittakers Cottages W&D Museum
Taking a tour of Whittakers Cottages at the Weald and Downland Living museum.
This pair of cottages was built in the mid 1860s, facing the newly opened Epsom-Leatherhead railway. They were built for rent and were occupied by agricultural labourers. One of the cottages has been left unfinished inside, to expose the timber-framed structure. The other has been furnished to a late-19th century date.
