Tadworth Station. There are two national rail stations, Tadworth close to the centre of the village and for some residents Tattenham Corner railway station is nearer, adjoining Epsom Downs. Both are in Oyster card Zone 6 and are run by the Southern Railway.
Tadworth Court is a grand Grade I listed building and was built at the height of Queen Anne style architecture in the very early 18th century – namely here in 1700 for Leonard Wessels, Lord of the Manor of Banstead. It is the home of the Children's Trust, a national charity providing special care for severely disabled children and rehabilitation to children with acquired brain injuries.
