You must have a driving licence before you can start learning to drive in Epsom Surrey. This section tells you what you need to know about driving licences and how to get further help if required. Driving licences are issued in the UK by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). As a learner driver, the type of licence you need is called a "provisional licence". To apply for any driving licence, including a provisional one, you need two forms - D1 Application for a driving licence and D750 Application for a photocard licence, available together at most post offices. You cannot legally drive on public roads until you have received your provisional licence. Your driving instructors Epsom will not be able to give you a driving lesson Epsom if you do not have your driving licence with you.

In medieval times, both Epsom and Ewell were small rural communities, with Epsom being smaller than Ewell. The major event for Tudor Ewell was the building of Nonsuch Palace by Henry VIII in 1538 to celebrate thirty years of his reign. The church and village of Cuddington were wiped away so that the Palace could be built. Henry wanted an impressive building, one which was bigger and better than any other contemporary building hence the name "Nonsuch". The Palace was surrounded by parkland stretching all the way to Hampton Court. The building was little used by royalty and was demolished in 1670, and the surrounding parkland sold off as farmland. By the 18th century merchants had moved their homes out from London into the villages of Epsom and Ewell. Epsom remained a small village until the early 17th Century when water from a pond was found to have medicinal properties and the minerals in Epsom salts were identified. Epsom village soon became a prosperous spa town attracting several notable visitors, including Samuel Pepys and King Charles II. When the interest in the spa declined in the early eighteenth century, horseracing attracted the visitors, especially after the Derby was established in 1780. The railways came to the borough in the mid nineteenth century and stimulated rapid house building to cater for the new breed of commuter to and from London. The suburbs of Auriol, Stoneleigh and Coulsdon were developed in the 1920s & 30s. The next major housing development was towards the end of the 1990s on the cluster of five former hospitals sites.
