Egham sits in an interesting pocket of north Surrey, effectively serving as the gateway to the Thames Valley while remaining firmly inside the M25. It’s a town defined by its proximity to water and woods; you have the riverside meadows of Runnymede just a short walk from the High Street - the historic site of the sealing of the Magna Carta - and the vast expanse of Windsor Great Park rising up the hill behind the town. Physically, the landscape shifts from the flat, riverside floodplains to the steep incline of Egham Hill, which is dominated by the gothic brickwork of Royal Holloway, University of London. The town centre itself has a functional, lived-in feel, retaining several independent shops and a mainline station that gets you into London Waterloo in about forty minutes. It’s a practical location that manages to feel surprisingly open, largely because it is hemmed in by protected green spaces that prevent it from merging entirely into the sprawl of neighbouring Staines or Heathrow.
