Contents

Facilities

Malden Rushett sits on the crossroads of the A243 road from Kingston upon Thames to Leatherhead and the B280 from Oxshott to Epsom. It consists of a few houses, a pub, petrol station and shops. It is less than one mile from Junction 9 on the M25 motorway.

The area also houses the Explorer Gate (south entrance and car park) of Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo Resort.

Rushett Common

South of Malden Rushett is Rushett Common consisting of two strips of woodland alongside the A243 to the edge of the boundary between Greater London and Surrey.[1] These are bounded by the Surrey woodlands of Princes Covert to the west and Epsom Common to the east. Within Rushett Common is Telegraph Hill - earlier known as Cabbage Hill - which was the site of a station on the Admiralty Shutter telegraph line. This used the shutter system to communicate between London and Portsmouth from 1796 until 1816. The buildings were small two-roomed wooden huts with a frame which held the six wooden shutters.[2] The station was replaced by a semaphore station built at Claygate.
