Elmbridge: Living in the South East isn’t cheap, and it’s not just London that’s expensive. Places like Surrey, Kent, and Essex can really hit your wallet hard.
Many wealthy folks skip the busy London life for a quieter, more exclusive vibe. They want to be close enough to the city but still enjoy some peace and quiet.
Elmbridge in Surrey is one of those fancy spots. It’s so upscale that The Telegraph calls it the ‘Beverley Hills of England’. You’ve got towns like Cobham, where some Chelsea footballers live, and Walton-on-Thames, which is low-key but still pretty exclusive.
But don’t expect to find cheap homes here. The average property price in Elmbridge is around £859K, which is even pricier than London! But hey, when your houses look like they belong to royalty, that’s what happens.
And if you love a good pub, Walton is the place to be. It’s got loads of great pubs, many right by the river, perfect for a sunny day.
The Swan is a top-notch pub with nearly perfect reviews on Tripadvisor. That’s no small feat with almost 800 reviews! To get there, you can hop on a train from Wimbledon or Vauxhall.
It’s just a 20-minute ride from Wimbledon and about half an hour from Vauxhall. If you’re keen on keeping up with the latest events and new bars in London, you can sign up for updates via WhatsApp from the MyLondon team.
