Ewell ( , ) is a town in the Epsom and Ewell district, in Surrey, England, south of central London and northeast of Epsom. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 34,872. The majority (73%) was in the ABC1 social class, except the Ruxley Ward that is C2DE.
Ewell was founded as a spring line settlement, where the permeable chalk of the North Downs meets the impermeable London Clay, and the Hogsmill River (a tributary of the River Thames) still rises at a spring close to Bourne Hall in the village centre. Recorded in Domesday Book as Etwelle, the settlement was granted a market charter to hold a market in 1618. The town is contiguous with the Greater London suburbs.
