Whyteleafe Local Information
Whyteleafe is located in the south east England district of Tandridge
and is serviced by three rail stations (Upper Warlingham, Whyteleafe
and Whyteleafe South) and trunk road the A22, which runs through
town. Why not use your car rental to get into town and catch a train
to one of the nearby towns?
The name Whyteleafe is probably taken from the underside of the
leaves from the whitebeam tree. The whitebeam tree has apparently
always grown in the area and now covers parts of the town. The unusual
spelling of ‘Whyteleafe’ was adopted by a Mr Drew, who
built a house on a parcel of land formerly known as Whiteleafe Field.
Mr Drew took the gothic spelling – the new spelling was subsequently
taken by the town, and it stuck! Neighbouring suburbs are Warlingham,
Woldingham and Caterham, Kenley Airfield lies to the west. Take
a drive around Whyteleafe in your car rental and see the different
towns that border it.
As with many small towns, the population boomed in Whyteleafe when
the rail came to town in 1856, and the new church, Saint Luke’s
was consecrated shortly after (10 years) in 1866. The church is
actually in the nearby Diocese of Southwark. Whyteleafe station
opened in 1900, with the first station master being Frederick White.
There are many eating places in and around Whyteleafe, including
the obligatory Chinese restaurant, as well as cafés, Indian
restaurants, pubs and steakhouses. Why not treat yourself and your
family to a night out parking the car rental and strolling to a
restaurant for a great meal.
