Welcome
Welcome to the home of F.L.O.R.A. - the Forest Lane Residents' Association of East Horsley, Surrey.  We are small though active community (there are only 20 homes in Forest Lane).  Whilst this site is primarily of interest to the residents, we are happy to give a flavour of the area to visitors.

Where are we?
East Horsley is a (large) village some 20 miles South West of London, set in a semi-rural part of Surrey.  Forest Lane is a secluded road on the edge of the village and bordering Effingham Common, a large unspoilt area of open ground preserved by Guildford Borough Council for public enjoyment.  Part of the Common may be seen on the right hand side of the aerial view opposite.  The locality is still fairly heavily wooded with native deciduous trees.  One such area, known simply as "The Forest" is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust and may be spotted in the bottom left corner of the aerial view.  Opposite The Forest is part of the Drift Golf Club.

Secluded but not isolated!
As much as we are able to enjoy our environment and the many varied walks through the surrounding countryside we are by no means isolated.  The M25 motorway is only a few miles away with both Heathrow and Gatwick airports each within a 35 minute drive.  Even more locally, a few minutes walk down Forest Lane brings you to Effingham Junction railway station, with trains to London and Guildford.

Major Success for FLORA
One of the founding objectives of FLORA was to bring about the reconstruction of the old road surface which had fallen into a poor state of repair. Thankfully this is now complete.
