Places to see in ( Dorking - UK )
Dorking is a market town in Surrey, England between Ranmore Common in the North Downs range of hills and Leith Hill in the Greensand Ridge, centred 21 miles from London. In the Georgian and Victorian periods six prominent sites in the former parish or on its boundaries became grand country estates: Leith Hill Place, Denbies (today a vineyard/hotel), Norbury Park, Polesden Lacey, Wotton House and Deepdene; five of which along with nearby Box Hill's promontory and chalk grassland slopes belong to the National Trust.
Dorking is a commuter and retirement settlement with three railway stations and a few large offices of multinational companies. Similarly, Malden in 1911, noted the place was almost entirely residential and agricultural, with some lime works on the chalk, though not so extensive as those in neighbouring parishes, a little brick-making, water-mills (corn) at Pixham Mill, and timber and saw-mills. Fine sand often in veins of pink, used for mortar and in glassmaking was dug, particularly in the 19th century — the Dorking Caves were accordingly excavated under southern parts of the town centre itself.
Dorking chickens with short five-toed legs are a major breed. The town has a local government headquarters and hosts repeating loops of the FIA-ranked London-Surrey cycle classic elite category event every year.
Dorking is in the west of the area between hill ranges in southern England known as Holmesdale which has headwaters of several rivers. The town's geography is undulating; for example, the elevation of the southern point of the central one-way system is 76 metres and on its northern side the elevation is 59–60 metres. To the south west of the town is Leith Hill, also owned by the National Trust, the second highest point in the south east of England after Walbury Hill. The tower on the summit elevates the hill to 1,000 ft (300 m) above sea level. The area is towards the east of the Surrey Hills AONB surrounded by the Greensand Ridge, including Holmbury Hill and Pitch Hill, as well as the nearby escarpment of the North Downs from Box Hill to Newlands Corner.
Dorking three main trading streets of High Street, West Street and South Street are complemented by a small open-air shopping centre, St Martin's Walk, which is adjacent to the town's main car park and easily accessed from the High Street. In the late 1990s Dorking Halls was given a huge refit, to make it a cinema and theatre complex. In 2003 a new modern leisure centre and swimming pool were added to the Dorking Halls Complex. There is a thin, somewhat shiny metal statue of a Dorking cockerel on the Deepdene roundabout.
Dorking and nearby Box Hill were chosen as part of the route for the 2012 London Olympics cycling road race and have featured in the FIA-ranked London-Surrey cycle classic every year since. The Deepdene Trail, a heritage walking trail, opens in September 2016 offering walks for all levels of fitness in a quiet space just 15 minutes from Dorking High Street.
Dorking is at the junction of the A24 (London to Worthing) and A25 (Maidstone to Guildford) roads. Dorking railway station, on the Epsom to Horsham Sutton & Mole Valley Line. Dorking Deepdene, on the Guildford to Redhill North Downs Line. Dorking West, also on the Guildford to Redhill North Downs Line.

Phillips Academy in Andover is the best high school in America
We visited Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts to see what makes it the best high school in America. The school is often confused with Phillips Exeter. There are 1,154 students on Andover's campus. Tuition for students living on campus is $53,900. Tuition for day students is $41,900. Andover has a need-blind admissions policy which means they accept students based on merit, not wealth. There are 44 states and 44 countries represented in the current student body. Following is a transcript of the video.
Jenny Elliott: Folks who are not so close to Andover or who haven’t experienced something like this will say, “you were sent to boarding school.” And, a sense of agency for kids to feel like, “I wasn’t sent anywhere. I wasn’t sent by my parents. I chose to go to boarding school.”
David Tsai: I’m a senior from Natick, Massachusetts. I have attended Andover for four years. And it is a distinct pleasure of mine to bring all of you around on what I believe is the best school in the world.
The most important thing you learn on this campus is how every single faculty member and every single student, when they are walking on, these are called the paths, they’re smiling. They’re clearly enjoying themselves at this school.
I believe that the boarding experience is so much more beneficial to the student because they get to live on their own and they get to experience high school as most people experience their college years.
John Palfrey: What we’re trying to accomplish here is to be absolutely excellent in the classic ways of academics, of sports, of arts, of community engagement — all of those things — while also really focusing on the young person in their wholeness and to make sure that we encourage kids to have wellness as central to their experience. To make sure they’re getting sleep, to make sure that they’re eating well, to make sure they’re exercising. All of those things I think go together with this idea of excellence. And I think that that combination of things is working really well right now.
Elliott: We don’t post grade point averages. We try to take some very specific steps not to elevate competition in those ways. We do a lot of collaborative work in classes, we do a lot of collaborative work on teams, we do a lot of collaborative work outside — and we do, in terms of our leadership positions for students, there are many positions where there’s actually co-presidents or there are co-leaders to send a clear message to our kids — collaboration is a skill that you’re going to need to develop well in order to be able to move forward here with success.
Tsai: Mental health here is one of the most important things on campus because the only way for you to show your affection for someone, to love someone else, to build connections and build bonds, is to firstly love yourself.
Palfrey: The most distinctive thing about Andover’s program is the need-blind admissions policy in our 11th year. How can you have a morally responsible high school with a $1 billion endowment? It’s when you actually do admit kids solely on the basis of their admission criteria that have nothing to do with wealth.
Tsai: I am so happy that I made the decision to come here because there is so clearly a universal commitment to being loved and to love that you don’t find at any other school.

London Video Tour: Southwark
In this video tour, New York Habitat ( explores London's thriving Southwark district!
On the tour, David Hill will stop by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Tate Modern, Borough Market, the Shard and more! All are part of London's Southwark district, an amazing neighborhood that mixes the old with the new! Southwark stretches roughly from Tower Bridge and Tower Bridge Road in the east to Blackfriars Bridge and Blackfriars Road in the west, and from the banks of the River Thames in the north to Elephant Castle in the south.
Bankside & Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
The tour starts in Bankside on the southern bank of the River Thames. In Elizabethan times, Bankside was known for its many playhouses, such as the Rose, the Swan and the Globe Theater. However, they were closed down by the Puritans in 1642. The best known of all these playhouses, the Globe Theatre, was rebuilt as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in 1997. Be sure to check out the reconstruction and catch a play!
Tate Modern
Right next to Shakespeare's Globe Theater is the Tate Modern: London's modern art gallery. The museum has free entry, and is housed in an impressive building that used to be a power station. The museum is ideally located right on the southern bank of the River Thames, so if you're a fan of contemporary art be sure to pay the Tate Modern a visit!
The Clink Prison Museum
This museum was built on the site of the Clink prison, and is thought to be one of the oldest prisons in England. The museum is filled with artifacts dating back to 1144 and visitors get to read and hear all about the life of the inmates. There are also ancient torture devices and prison cells to peruse.
It's clear that life in a medieval London prison wasn't very comfortable! Luckily times have changed. London is simply filled with wonderful vacation rental apartments where you can relax and feel at home during your visit to the city (
Borough Market
Borough Market near the London Bridge is one of the oldest food markets in London. It's open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and offers anything from fruit and vegetables to meats, cheeses and breads. It's one of the best farmer's markets in the city of London, and that's saying something considering the number of markets in the area!
The Shard
The Shard is one of the newest additions to the skyline of London, and is located near Tower Bridge. The tower was built in 2012 and is about 306 meters (1,004 feet) high, which makes it the tallest building in the EU. There's a viewing platform on the 72nd floor that offers absolutely spectacular views of the surrounding city!
Southwark Wharves & Hay's Galleria
A trading hub for centuries, the wharves of Southwark have been converted into shops, restaurants, apartments and more. A great example of this renovation is Hay's Galleria: a former warehouse and wharf that is now a beautiful shopping center. Besides shopping, you can also choose to sit and enjoy the waterside views at one of the many cafes or restaurants in and around the galleria.
Thames Clippers
Taking a boat across the Thames River is a great way to travel around London and take in the sights. Thames Clippers offers waterbus services across the city, and allows you to hop on and off easily at different locations.
We hope you've enjoyed this tour of London's Southwark neighborhood! Don't forget to check out our blog for more information about the area. Did we miss any of your favorite spots? Let us know in the comments below!
