The charming Thames-side village of Laleham in Surrey is characterised by its many charming historic buildings and tranquil leafy streets. Despite its idyllic rural setting, Laleham is located just a short drive from three motorway junctions and 1.5 miles from Staines; trains from the nearby town reach London Waterloo in a little over an hour.
Demonstrating its lengthy history, the village appears in charters dating back to the 10th century CE and is also named in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish church was originally constructed in the 12th century, although it was largely rebuilt in 1600 and its striking tower was erected in 1780.
