Often referred to as ‘Suburb-iton’, this leafy town on the southern bank of the River Thames is quintessentially suburban. As the fictional location of TV show ‘The Good Life’, it’s an image which has stuck since the early seventies. That said, it manages to remain unique from neighboring suburbs thanks to its attractive Victorian era properties and impressive transport links which connect to Waterloo in 15 minutes.
Whether it’s the young professional or growing family, Surbiton appeals to a diverse population. It’s not surprising given the top-performing schools of the area, as well as the local attractions. In the vibrant town centre, all of the major high street retailers can be found, while stylish restaurants offer a selection of international cuisine.
Much of the appeal lies in the wide open spaces which are dotted amongst the residential pockets. Residents can walk along the scenic Thames which meanders nearby, or take the route known as the Hogsmill Valley Walk which navigates to the east of Berrylands. Ferry journeys also travel from here to Hampton Court Palace, offering the chance to tour these spectacular grounds.
Finally, the leisure and cultural attractions in and around Surbiton offer something for all. With Kingston only a short distance away, residents have access to impressive wellness centres, not to mention the historic Rose Theatre, a cinema and the prestigious Hampton Court Palace Golf Club.
Transportation in Surbiton
Surbiton has a reputation for its easy commute thanks to the speedy train service to Waterloo, taking as little as 15 minutes. That’s even faster than many of the more central districts such as Southfields, Putney and Earlsfield.
The impressive Surbiton railway station, which sits within a Grade II listed building, also offers half-hourly trains which stop at Clapham Junction for those changing to Victoria. Other services travel to Woking, Hampton Court and Basingstoke.
Alternatively, those travelling by car have the convenience of the nearby A3 which surrounds Surbiton. This links to the M25 in a short distance, offering convenient access to Central London and other major cities across the UK. Both Heathrow Airport and Gatwick can be reached in approximately 30 minutes via the M25.
Primary and secondary schools in Surbiton
Surbiton is home to an excellent choice of private and state schools. At the primary level, many have been judged ‘outstanding’ by the government watchdog Ofsted. These include Christ Church C of E, Tolworth Infant and Our Lady Immaculate. The private pre-prep, Linley House in Berrylands Road is another desirable option, as well as the local prep, Shrewsbury House.
For pupils aged 11 to 18, the council run grammar schools are Tiffin for boys and Tiffin for girls. These have both been judged ‘outstanding’. Alternatively, the nearby comprehensives – The Holy Cross for girls and Richard Challoner for boys – are consistent top performers.
The local private schools include the coeducational Kingston Grammar and Surbiton High for boys which offer sixth form facilities. For higher education, an array of courses and adult learning can be undertaken at Kingston College.
History of Surbiton
Surbiton’s history can be traced back to the 12th century. During its earliest days as a settlement, much of the area was cultivated for land where residents included a handful of farmers and local tradespeople. Despite its proximity to the capital, it remained largely rural until the arrival of the railway in 1838.
Following the rejection of a proposed London to Portsmouth line, the local council chose to re-route through Surbiton instead. This controversial decision, which sought to preserve the coaching and innkeeping traders of neighbouring Kingston, happened to be a blessing for Surbiton. The area soared in popularity as a new commuting suburb was born. Residents could now reach Central London with ease, while the leafy surroundings were a major draw for those wanting to leave behind the smoggy capital.
Surbiton’s historic character remains today thanks to its large Victoria-era cottages and houses. Although development has brought modern infrastructure, much of the open spaces which made the area so desirable were preserved and are still enjoyed by residents.

What is it Like to Live in Surbiton?
With great schools, a fast commute to London and a relaxed, village atmosphere, Surbiton is the perfect area for families. Located next to the River Thames, Surbiton is 11 miles southwest of central London, with Kingston Upon Thames to the north. Historically part of the ancient parish of Kingston Upon Thames in the county of Surrey, it became a part of Greater London in 1965.
Perhaps best known for being the setting for the famous BBC sitcom “The Good Life”, Surbiton has a reputation for idyllic, leafy suburbia, which isn’t too far from the truth. This welcoming suburban neighbourhood comprises a mixture of grand 19th century townhouses, semi-detached 20th century housing estates and more recent residential blocks with open green spaces.
Surbiton has plenty to offer in the way of schools with a number of fantastic primary and secondary schools, as well as highly regarded private schooling options.
- Mark’s Church of England Junior School is a primary school rated as “outstanding” by Ofsted
- Southborough High and the Kingston Academy are two excellent comprehensive grammar schools
- Shrewsbury House for boys and Cross Preparatory for girls are popular choices for private schools
Surbiton Transport Links
Whilst Surbiton lacks major motorway connections, the A3 road, which connects London and Portsmouth, does cuts through Berrylands at Tolworth Underpass. The M25 can be reached in just over half an hour too.
The area is well served by a number of regular bus services. The Transport for London bus routes running through Surbiton include: 71, 281, 406, 418, 465, K1, K2, K3 and K4. Other services running through the area include those provided by Hallmark Connections and Stagecoach South. These bus services provide links to the likes of Kingstown town centre, Twickenham, Chessington, Hounslow, Epsom, Dorking, Cobham and Staines.
Surbiton residents also benefit from being in close proximity to two train stations: Surbiton and Berrylands. In fact, Surbiton train station was built in the area now known as Surbiton way back in 1838 as an alternative to a station in Kingston. Fast, frequent services run from Surbiton station to London Waterloo, taking as little as 20 minutes. Both stations also provide easy links further afield to Surrey and Hampshire.
Surbiton will appeal to cycling enthusiasts too. The suburb provides many cycleways to quickly reach open spaces and the countryside.
For international travel, both Heathrow Airport and Gatwick are within very easy reach, with the former being less than 9 miles away from Surbiton.
