Tandridge

Tandridge is an administrative district in Surrey, southeastern England, encompassing diverse landscapes shaped by chalk hills and sandstone ridges. The region contains several towns and villages spread across rolling countryside.

The district was created in 1974 through the merger of former urban and rural councils, establishing a new administrative structure for the area. This reorganization shaped how local services and governance operate today.

The district's coat of arms, granted in 1977, displays griffins and a mural crown with the Latin motto 'Concordia' representing harmony.

The council office based in Oxted serves as the main administrative center for public services and inquiries. The district is accessible by public transport, with railway connections linking the main towns throughout the area.

The entire district sits within the Metropolitan Green Belt, a protected zone that restricts urban development and preserves forests and farmland. This protection helps the region maintain its rural character despite being close to London.
