Epsom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

For the United States town, see Epsom, New Hampshire.

Epsom is a town in the county of Surrey, about 15 miles south-west of London. Epsom is part of the borough of Epsom and Ewell.

Each June, it is the home of the Epsom Derby horse race, the second leg of the English Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

Historically, Epsom was known as a spa town, although there is little to see nowadays.

Epsom has frequent rail services to London (Waterloo Station, Victoria Station and London Bridge Station), and also to Leatherhead, Dorking, Guildford, Horsham and Croydon.

Epsom salts are named after the town.
