The fishing platform at Stew Pond sits within Epsom Common, the only fishing pond in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell. The platform was identified as a significant improvement to the site, providing a safe, accessible spot for anglers and visitors alike.

Its design takes into account access for people with disabilities, complementing the nearby all-weather track that connects to the Stew Pond car park.

Stew Pond itself is a small but popular water of around three-quarters of an acre, managed by CALPAC and available to both members and day ticket holders. Anglers are asked not to create new swims and to take care near the banks.
