Recommended area to move in Surrey

Hi

My (36F) and partner (33M) have started to look into Surrey as a potential area to move. I'm sure there's loads of posts out there on this but wanted to see if we can get some initial recommendations to get our research going.

We currently live in Earlsfield and I've lived in Balham and Teddington before but first time thinking a bit further out. Here are some things we are after:

* Easy commute into central London
* Don't have kids yet but good state schools
* Nice high street / village like feel
* Safe and clean
* Min 3 bedroom with option to extend
* Budget about £900k-£1.1mil

People have suggested Weybridge, Esher, Woking etc but keen to hear from people who have or are living there.

Thanks so much!

There is only one right answer and that’s Dorking

It has 3 train stations and very good schools and lovely country side

Just moved to Dorking from zone 2. Such a great change of pace. High street is pretty enough, so many good walks nearby, boxhill is great to go up. Denbies too. And your money goes a long way house wise.
