A Unique Street

Almost anyone who knows Dorking has a special affection for West Street. It has a character and atmosphere all of its own. This is due in part to the long history of the street, said to be the oldest in the town - and appropriately the home of the Dorking Museum - the wealth of historic buildings and the shape of the street that widens and then narrows. But it is much more than this. The distinctive character of West Street is also produced by the mix of shops, businesses and inns with a long tradition of service and the narrow passages that lead off to some other part of the town.

Most of all West Street is famous for the antiques trade that draws people to its shops and its workshops from all over the world. A walk along West Street is to experience Aladdin's Cave.
