The Beverley Brook runs through Worcester Park, alongside Green Lane and past Green Lane Primary School and Cheam Common Junior School for the special needs, traversing up to Cuddington Recreation Ground. Green Lane appears in the Domesday Book. The Huntsmans Hall (now The Brook) was situated on what was the far boundary of a hunting ground for Henry VIII.

Worcester Park railway station
Worcester Park railway station

Worcester Park railway station serves the Worcester Park area in south-west London, England. It is 10 miles 53 chains (17.2 km) down the line from London Waterloo. It opened in 1859 when the London and South Western Railway completed the Epsom branch. It was originally known as "Old Malden" and was renamed "Worcester Park" in 1862. Following substantial local housing development, the station was refurbished in the 1930s. The station is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, just to the west of the boundary with the London Borough of Sutton. The station is managed by South Western Railway, which also operates all trains serving it, and it is located in Travelcard Zone 4. The station has a small concession stand selling newspapers, magazines, coffee and pastries. There is a taxi office on the station estate; bus stops served by various Transport for London routes; a 24-hour, 90-space car park; cycle parking; a waiting room and toilets. The car park is largely sited on the area formerly used as a goods yard. The station has no automated barriers; however, Oyster Pre-Pay has been made available by National Rail at the station. Disabled access used to be poor: the London bound platform was accessible, but access to the southbound platform was only via the pedestrian bridge or a long set of steps. However, in June 2014 a new passenger bridge was opened (coinciding with the removal of the old footbridge). The new bridge is equipped with lifts to permit disabled access between platforms.In December 2007 there was a landslide on the line near the station which caused major disruptions and cancellations to all services passing through the station for one week.
