Oxted South is about 20 miles from central London, which makes it a very convenient place to live for commuters like myself, but once you get home of an evening it feels a world away from the busy, vibrant but sometimes dangerous place that is the Capital. When I moved out of London, I thought was moving away from aspects of life like the big yellow Metropolitan Police signs that not infrequently adorned the Old Kent Road saying 'Murder' - Any information please help.
Oxted is positioned in the far eastern corner of Surrey. To the north is Bromley and Croydon , to the east and south east Kent, to the south Sussex and to the West the rest of Surrey. Therefore going eastwards the next largish town is Sevenoaks, similarly a commuter town into London. So the news that yesterday Police shot dead a woman in Sevenoaks, does bring home the fact that although Surrey is a very safe place to live, the darker side of life isn't restricted to London.
