A village that grew around a railway station
Unlike many older Surrey villages, South Nutfield's development followed the arrival of the railway rather than preceding it, with housing spreading out from the station rather than from a historic church or green.
Larger than its parent village
South Nutfield has grown to exceed the older village of Nutfield itself in size, even though it remains part of the same civil parish and shares a parish council with it.
Tandridge, not Reigate's borough
South Nutfield falls within Tandridge District Council, a different planning authority from the one covering Reigate.
