The village is elevated from the
London Basin and has gentle slopes down to the old village in a slight dip and to
Walton-on-Thames. The roads are characterised by many avenues and garden-fronted properties surrounded by parkland, no intersection by any major roads, with low rise apartments being a relatively common feature. The Weybridge Club spa resort and Broadwater lie to the north of the Oatlands Park Hotel within the lower
London Basin. Several fine elevated views can be enjoyed from apartments on Oatlands Drive, reflected in names such as Ridgemount, Broadwater Place, Lakeside, Oakhill Gardens and Tower Grove. The architecture across the village is predominantly of
classical,
Georgian inspiration to complement the small group of terraced houses dating from the 18th and 19th centuries and grander, detached Georgian houses bordering on the approach to Monument Hill, which links Oatlands to
Weybridge town centre. There are no dual carriageways around or within the village. The closest railway station is
Walton-on-Thames, from St Marys, Oatlands church to the south-east of the village, with a 25-minute one stop service in the mornings and evenings to
London Waterloo.
Soil The soil even in the majority of the upland parts has few pockets of sand (supporting fern, gorse, bog and conifers) compared to Weybridge Heath and the large areas of West Surrey former proper
heath on the
Bagshot sand, with the general mixture of
gravel and
alluvial deposits producing medium fertility and naturally conducive to open pasture or orchards. ==Amenities==
