Love for Hamsey Green

We called Hamsey Green home for over 10 years, and it’s still one of those hidden gems that people fall in love with the moment they discover it. Nestled between Warlingham and Sanderstead, it’s a friendly, welcoming pocket with its own parade of shops, cafés, and restaurants (plus a handy Co-op when you need those last-minute essentials). It’s the sort of neighbourhood where you’ll quickly get to know your neighbours, bump into friends on the high street, and always feel part of a community.

Local Shops & Amenities

The Hamsey Green parade is small but mighty, with something for everyone.

• The Olive Branch Café – Still the go-to for a hearty breakfast, light lunch, or just a cuppa with a smile. The staff are warm and welcoming, and service is always speedy.
• Panahar – A local institution for curry lovers (try the Sunday buffet!). If you want something slightly livelier, try one of the Tribute Nights next door at Samsara, from Spice Girls to Tina Turner tributes, they all come to Samsara!
• Waterman’s Dry Cleaners – A long-standing local service, trusted by residents for keeping everything fresh and spotless.
• Hamsey Green Fish & Chips – A classic chippy serving generous portions and a favourite for Friday nights with the family along with Charcoal Grill Kebab centre, well worth a try for a chicken shish kebab or just a bag of chips. The team is super friendly there.

It’s the kind of high street where familiar faces become part of your daily routine.

Green Spaces & Outdoors

Love the outdoors? You’re spoilt for choice:

• Kings Wood and Riddlesdown Common are right on your doorstep – perfect for walking the dog, exploring with the kids, or enjoying a morning run.
• Kenley Aerodrome is a favourite for families with bikes, scooters, and an eye on the skies – spot the gliders taking off for a bit of aviation magic. There is also a park tucked away on Hamsey Green Playing Field (we will tell you the secret route) and Whyteleaf Park which links in to the wonderful Riddledown (that’s a great walk with the kids).

Whatever the season, there’s always somewhere close by to breathe in the fresh air.

Sports & Community

If sport is your thing, you’ll feel at home along the Limpsfield Road. Rugby, football, and cricket clubs are dotted nearby, each with a bar and garden where you can socialise or become a member. Many also offer function room hire.

Local football, Rugby and Cricket is thriving too – don’t miss the Hamsey Rangers on a Sunday morning. Community spirit is alive and well here, with plenty of chances to join in.

There is also the tranquil Aba Yoga tucked away in Hamsey Green which is a wonderful yoga studio offering a variety of classes including Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga.
