The White Horse Hotel is in the centre of Dorking, and easy to reach by car or train. Regular trains run from London, getting into the town in under an hour, and the hotel is approximately 15 minutes’ walk away. You can also drive in easily - Dorking is around 25 miles from London, and the hotel is just off the A24.

Dorking
Staying in Surrey’s quaint market town of Dorking, you'll have the scenic Surrey Hills just moments away. Refresh yourself with a bracing walk up Box Hill, or leap across the stepping stones over the River Mole.
The traditional market town is home to a wealth of exceptional produce - head to Denbies Wine Estate to visit the country's largest vineyards, and be sure to sample a glass. Then head back into town and make a beeline for West Street, dedicated entirely to antique stores. If you don’t come away with a treasure to take home, you certainly won’t leave empty handed from Dorking’s traditional weekly market, filled with delicious food, drink and local artisanal goodies.
The historic hotel also has a literary touch, as it once hosted the writer Charles Dickens while he worked on The Pickwick Papers. You’ll find charming memorabilia around the hotel, as well as a quirky cocktail menu inspired by the famous novel.
