…Its history can be traced back to the medieval times.

I moved from Twickenham in 1998 and really enjoy living here. It is so much more peaceful than where we used to live...less noise fromaeroplanes!

…It's got open green spaces, the river Thames, bars, pubs, restaurants, local market and transport links to London by car or train and a stones throw from Gatwick and Heathrow.

Everyone's really friendly. Local schools are great and if you need bigger shopping, Staines, Weybridge and Kingston are a just bus ride away.

The family have never been happier. Moved here from Islington. Much happier in a nice house with riverside walks for the kids and local pubs and restaurants to take the wife. She loves the Saturday market and the friendliness of the community. Brilliant place to live. Really settled in here. Love it.

…I still have a house in the town (not a village!), which I propose to rent out. I lived in Shepperton for 30 years, and I feel little for the place, although it's quite attractive; but I came to love Chertsey.

My house is in the conservation area. There are nice open spaces, but the Bourne should be cleared of reeds more often. Good Sainsburys but the other shops lack variety. Good pubs.

... We would highly recommend living here, especially if you are looking to get away from the grinds of city life. I used to live in Hammersmith and travel by London underground tube to my job in the city, but moving to Chertsey has been the best move I made. In Chertsey not only do you get fresher, cleaner air but it’s so much more quieter and relaxed.

I sold my house in Hammersmith and bought a lovely 3 bed Victorian house in Chertsey which has beautiful high ceilings. I even get to park my car into my own driveway. I still travel into London from Chertsey train station but it's so nice coming back home in the evenings.

Surrey is just so much more open and nicer to live in than London. What’s more everything is local - Sainsburys, Riverbourne gym, lovely parks. We would never move from here - even our 2 children have now become used to the Surrey way of life! We would definitely recommend Chertsey to anybody.

... Very historical, with some very beautiful character Victorian houses, especially around Abbey Road and Eastworth Road. You get a lot more living space for what you pay in comparison to Weybridge which is only 2 miles down the road.

It is easy to walk to anywhere in the town and the motorway links are excellent, too.

I wouldn't leave!

Its location between Virginia Water and Weybridge makes it a popular choice for many families and young people that have been "priced out" of the housing market in those towns. The projected improvements in public transport to central London make this an outstanding area for investment and development and the fact that this central town area is listed as a "conservation area" means that this will not be redeveloped but rather enhanced.

Chertsey is perfectly located for London, Heathrow, the commuter belt, & perfect for golf enthusiasts!!!
