At one end there is a Church, parts of which date to the late thirteenth century (Historic England) with the Village Pub at the other. There are also some great golf courses and the area is well-known for its quiet walks, including a 'secret' Roman road on the edge of the village that features in recommended local rambles.

Access to London Bridge from Cowden Station is less than an hour.
