One of Leatherhead's handful of pubs, this one is some way out of the town centre. It has been around for a long time. In the January of 1834, the body of a murdered woman was found by the local fox hunt on Leatherhead Common. It was removed to The Royal Oak, where a Coroner's inquest was subsequently held. Since then, the pub is no longer in a rural setting, as much building development has taken place around here. Behind the pub is Oak Road. Image Image Image
