Location
Walton on Thames is located on the south side of the River Thames, with a most impressive landmark, a stunning road bridge that spans the Thames between Walton and Shepperton. The current bridge is the 6th to be built here since 1750. The town began as a small Celtic settlement. It is recorded in the Doomsday book as Waletona, or ’Welsh Town’. The name has evolved over time to become Walton on Thames.
The river access makes this town a perfect place to live if you have a love of the outdoors. There is ample opportunity for activities such as walking, cycling, running and the plethora of watersports that are available. There are also clubs for tennis, rugby, football, dance, theatre and much more.
Outstanding leisure facilities are nearby including golf at Burhill, St George’s Hill, The Wisley, Wentworth, and The Berkshire.

During the 1st World War, Walton on Thames provided medical treatment for Soldiers from New Zealand. There is still a Kowhai tree, native to New Zealand, planted opposite the New Zealand Avenue entrance to The Heart and bearing a memorial plaque.
During the 1920’s the area became known for its passion for film and boasted several studios, including the Cecil Hepworth Studio, which was converted to a theatre by the original architect when the studio closed. In World War II, the town was heavily bombed, due to its close proximity to Brooklands where planes and other war materials were manufactured.
After the 2nd World War, the town began to re-develop, the film studios made a comeback and many films were made out of studios such as the Nettlefold and Walton Studios.
The area also had a passion for racing and in the 1940’s and 50’s HWM (Hersham and Walton Motors) built racing cars including Formula 1 cars driven by legends including Stirling Moss. HWM is still very much part of the town and after winding up the racing car business, took a franchise in iconic Aston Martin cars.
The area benefits from a range of independent, state and international schools, including Ashley C of E Primary School, ACS Cobham International School, Brooklands College, Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary, Cleve’s School, Feltonfleet School, Guildford High School, Hampton School, Heathside School, LEH School, Notre Dame School, Parkside School, Reeds School, Royal Guildford School, Sir William Perkins’s School, St. George’s College, Surbiton High School, Three Rivers Academy.
