Situated alongside the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village of Effingham is a close-knit community of 2500 inhabitants perched on the edge of the North Downs. Within the parish boundaries there are two state and three independent schools, three churches - Anglican, Methodist and Roman Catholic - shops, a Post Office, a Doctors surgery, a golf club, two public houses and a Royal British Legion centre plus various businesses. Many organisations offer social activities in the village for people of all ages, from the playgroup and the Scouts to the allotments and the Over 60s club. Effingham Housing Association provides accommodation for the elderly in need in the Effingham area.

An attractive feature of the village is the King George V Playing Fields - 33 acres of green open space providing local people with children's nursery and adventure playgrounds, tennis courts, rugby and football pitches and walking or jogging tracks.

The King George V Hall houses a large multi-purpose function room available for hire, rugby club facilities and The Village Bar (membership required).
