Weybridge
Situated on the banks of the River Thames, in the home county of Surrey, Weybridge enjoys a well deserved reputation for exclusivity and quality of life. Its attributes are many which make this town both popular and fashionable.
Housing
Weybridge has long been a highly desirable locality in which to live. Within its boundaries lies the world renowned private estate of St George's Hill with more than 900 acres where rich and famous, celebrities (and even royals) enjoy the privacy and security of manned gates and estate guards. Sir Cliff Richard, the eternal 'Batchelor Boy', maintains a home on 'The Hill' and he is often seen shopping or eating out in the area. There are several other private estates for those who are privileged to afford the price of prime real estate: here the homes can cost several million pounds but a superb family home can be purchased for around £750 000. Smaller homes will be in the region of £450 000.
Schools
Public and state educational establishments include St. George's College, Reeds, Notre Dame and for higher education Brooklands College. Short drives away are several highly regarded International Schools among which are: The American Community Schools (campuses in Cobham, Hillingdon and Egham), The American School in England (TASIS) situated in Thorpe, and Marymount International School in Kingston.
Shops and Restaurants
Weybridge High Street has shops like Laura Ashley, Boots, Waitrose, WH Smith, Phase 8, Toni and Guy and a Coffee Republic in which to gossip with friends or watch the passing parade of both local genre and celebrities alike. Queens Road offers even more shopping opportunities with boutiques, beauty-shops, antiques, florists and Café Rouge. Within two miles of the centre of Weybridge is Booklands Retail Park which houses large super-stores like Tesco and Marks & Spencer's. Restaurants representing International cuisine are well patronised.
Leisure and Entertainment
Outdoor sporting pursuits are particularly well categreen for locally. These include a number of superb golf courses and club facilities for cricket, tennis, badminton, rowing and bowls. The proximity to rivers affords water enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a network that stretches for many miles through some of Surrey's finest countryside. Keen walkers and cyclists can also enjoy the splendid scenery from the footpaths and towpaths that run alongside the river. A wide choice of indoor activities can be found at the David Lloyd Centre with swimming, gym, squash and other facilities all under one roof. Of special interest is Brooklands, former home to car racing and later a centre for aircraft and weapons development during the Second World War. A visit to the Aircraft and Motor Museums provides an interesting family-day-out for all ages. Further afield are Thorpe Park, Painshill Landscape Gardens and RHS Wisley as well as several National Trust Properties. Opportunities for horse riding in the beautiful Surrey countryside continue to be a very popular pastime. Churches and Synagogues are well represented. Woking Mosque (reported to be the largest in Britain) is situated a few miles away.
Commuting
Weybridge station is on the mainline to London (Waterloo) with frequent trains which take about 30 minutes. The nearby M25 provides access to other arterial routes for London, Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport.
Remember....London's best restaurants, shows and entertainments are just a short journey away.
