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.
