'''Epsom''' is a commuter town in [[Surrey]], south-east [[England]], located just outside the boundary of [[London]]. It was notable as a [[spa]] in the eighteenth century, and the influx of fashionable vistors to 'take the waters' encouraged other leisure activities, notably horse racing. Epsom is still a major racing centre, and [[The Derby]], which began in 1780 and takes place at Epsom each June, is the most prestigious [[flat race]] in the UK.
