Weybridge - London miniguides

An exclusive corner of Surrey voted the best place to live in the country. The district council of Elmbridge, which includes places such as Weybridge, Cobham, Esher, Oxshott and Walton on Thames which Jackson-Stops & staff successfully cover for Sales, Lettings and Land & New Homes, is apparently the closest place to paradise… www.dailymail.co.uk

These fashionable towns are a magnet for celebrities who enjoy a lifestyle which combines a rural idyll with easy access to London.

It is the third consecutive year that the borough of Elmbridge has won the Quality of Life survey since it began five years ago. And they say the schools are better too. The survey by the Halifax, says 77% of local children achieve five or more GCSE’S with grades of A to C, compared with an average of 74 %.
