Whyteleafe

Whyteleafe sits in the valley below Warlingham and Caterham, along the A22. It has its own station (Whyteleafe or Whyteleafe South, both on the Southern line to London Bridge and East Croydon) which makes it a more practical commuter base than the villages above. The housing is more affordable than Warlingham or Woldingham, with a mix of 1930s houses, some Victorian terraces near the station, and newer developments. There is a small local parade of shops but nothing extensive. The valley setting means you are surrounded by steep wooded hillsides, which is attractive, though the A22 through the middle brings traffic noise. It is the workhorse commuter stop in this cluster rather than the pretty one.
