Location

Walton-on-Thames is located on the south bank of the River Thames, connected to Shepperton by a road bridge; the current structure is the sixth built on this site since 1750. The town originated as a Celtic settlement and is recorded in the Domesday Book as “Waletona” (“Welsh Town”), later evolving into its current name.

The river provides access to outdoor activities including walking, cycling, running and water sports. Local facilities support a range of sports and arts, with clubs for tennis, rugby, football, athletics, dance and theatre. Nearby leisure provision includes golf courses at Burhill, St George’s Hill, The Wisley, Wentworth and The Berkshire, as well as health clubs and tennis facilities. Additional amenities include horse racing at Sandown Park and Kempton Park, and water-based activities on the Thames and River Wey.

Healthcare services are available locally, including GP, diagnostic, physiotherapy and specialist care providers. The town has historical links to New Zealand troops treated there during the First World War, commemorated by a kowhai tree and memorial plaque.

Walton-on-Thames developed a film industry presence in the 1920s with studios such as Cecil Hepworth’s, later repurposed as a theatre. The town was affected by bombing in the Second World War due to its proximity to Brooklands. Post-war redevelopment saw a return of film production at studios including Nettlefold and Walton. The area also had a motor racing connection through HWM (Hersham and Walton Motors), which produced racing and Formula One cars in the mid-20th century.

Educational provision includes a range of independent, state and international schools in the area. The town hosts regular markets, including farmers’, French and vegan markets, and provides a mix of retail and dining options, including a supermarket food hall, discount retail and local cafés and restaurants. Cultural and leisure facilities include a cinema, theatre, leisure centre, swimming pool, and nearby galleries, museums and historic sites.
