Townends, Surbiton Lettings
The Surbiton branch of Townends is located on Claremont Road within easy walking distance of Surbiton British Rail station and next door but one from the new Waitrose Supermarket.
So what is it that is making Surbiton a popular place to live and hence making the local property market extremely buoyant?
The main factor influencing Surbiton’s popularity is the rail link to central London (Waterloo in 18 minutes - fast service). This is making properties which are within walking distance to the station extremely attractive to commuters.
Access to the City by road is also hassle free via the A3. Road links also serve access to Heathrow and the South Coast. Obviously the above factors are geared to day to day business and commerce, but in terms of leisure activities, Surbiton and the surroundings have a lot to offer.
The River Thames dissects Surbiton from the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. Many of the riverside properties have extensive river views over towards the Palace and hence command quite strong prices. Richmond Park is also just on the other side of Kingston (approximately 2 miles to the north).
For shopping, Kingston upon Thames which borders Surbiton to the north provides an extensive range of major high street retailers - many of which are housed in the Bentalls Centre.
