The Green
Warlingham's green, with its lime trees, war memorial and cluster of shops and cafes, forms the centre of the village and is where most of its community life still happens.
Between town and country
The village sits between the built-up edge of Croydon to the north and open Surrey fields and woodland to the south, giving it a transitional character shared by several settlements along this stretch of the North Downs.
Tandridge District Council
Planning and building control in Warlingham fall to Tandridge District Council, whose administrative offices are based in nearby Oxted, rather than to the authority covering Reigate.
