The Area
We are situated in a truly beautiful part of the
United Kingdom and almost a stone's throw from the centre of London!
Elmbridge is Southwest of London - and Cobham, Weybridge, Oxshott,
Walton-on-Thames and Esher are some of the towns and villages in this
attractive north east region of Surrey! We are only 35 minutes from
central London and enjoy a peaceful and calm lifestyle. Carry on
reading to find out more about this expanding
community where our choir is based.
Elmbridge is located 17 miles south west of central
London in North Surrey, covering an area of over 9,600 hectares (23,800
acres). The River Thames borders Elmbridge to the north, the M25
motorway to the south, the River Wey to the west and the Royal Borough
of Kingston-Upon-Thames to the east. The River Mole meanders through
the centre of the borough from south to north.
