Surbiton, fondly nicknamed Suburbiton, is the quintessential British suburban town which has been brilliantly portrayed in TV classics such as The Good Life. Relocating families are attracted by Surbiton’s fantastic combination of its riverside setting, green open spaces, fast trains to London and quick access to the M25 and A3.
The thriving town centre has an abundance of small shops nestled alongside familiar high street stores and supermarkets. There’s a great bar and café culture with some beautiful old pubs and a truly cosmopolitan array of restaurants. There’s also a popular farmers’ market held on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Neighbouring Kingston, with its excellent shopping, nightlife and Thameside restaurant scene is just a scenic 15 minute walk away, along the river.
We think Surbiton is the perfect location for international assignees looking to work from home a few days a week and commuting to their London office. You can be back home in your leafy suburb in 17 minutes from Waterloo, and then seamlessly work from your apartment balcony with the 200 mbps wifi. Our apartments are all located in a quiet spot set-back from Victoria Road aka Surbiton High Street hence the quiet plus you’re surrounded by restaurants, cafés, pubs and shops. It’s a 7 minute walk from the riverside and a 3 minute walk from Surbiton train station (which featured in a Harry Potter film).
Fancy a weekend trip to the seaside? Get a direct train from Surbiton to Portsmouth (90 mins) or Bournemouth (110 mins). Locally there’s the majestic Hampton Court Palace just 7 minutes away. There are also direct train services to Thames Ditton, New Malden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon, Clapham Junction, Vauxhall, Esher, Walton-on Thames, Weybridge, Woking and Guildford.
