What's Ewell like?

[AudiWurst]

Looking to move to Ewell/Epsom - anyone got any comments on this area positive or negative? Have lived in New Malden and Isleworth in the past, now looking for something (even) more suburban with bigger houses/plots.

Dredged up this topic from a couple of years ago, which suggested some issues with pikies in the area. Is this a big problem, or is it only confined to certain areas?

Pikies aside, Ewell looks good for us. Easy commute to London Bridge or Waterloo, close enough to friends we have in Kingston and Surbiton, and good local state schools (have two boys, aged 3yrs and 3wks).

Thanks for the comments. Have had our offer accepted on a house in Ewell. Area seems really nice, and the house prices haven't gone quite as mental as they have in the suburbs closer to central London...
