Langley Vale is a village in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, in Surrey, England, approximately 15 miles (24 km) south of central London. As its name suggests, the village is in a dry valley between Epsom Downs and Walton Downs. Historically part of the Ashtead Park estate, Langley Vale was the location of a farm in Medieval times. The modern village began to develop in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The nearest settlements are Burgh Heath to the east, Tadworth to the south-east, Headley to the south, Ashtead to the west and the Woodcote part of Epsom to the north.
