Surrey is England's most affluent county and consistently one of the most popular destinations for London professionals and families relocating from the capital. Fast rail links to multiple London termini, outstanding schools, beautiful countryside and dramatically better housing than equivalent London properties make Surrey an exceptionally compelling relocation destination.
The best Surrey towns for London movers
Guildford
Surrey's county town - 28 minutes to Waterloo, outstanding schools, vibrant town centre. The premium proposition at a premium price.
Woking
Just 25 minutes to Waterloo - one of the fastest commutes in the county. Property is lower priced than Guildford and the town has good schools and amenities. Popular with young families making their first step out of London.
Reigate and Redhill
At the foot of the North Downs, with excellent trains to London Bridge and Victoria in around 40 minutes. Reigate in particular has a beautiful Georgian high street, outstanding countryside and a well-regarded grammar school.
Epsom
Home to the world-famous racecourse, Epsom offers fast trains to Waterloo and Victoria in around 35 minutes. More affordable than Guildford with good schools and a pleasant town centre.
Dorking
A picturesque market town at the heart of the Surrey Hills, Dorking attracts those who prioritise lifestyle over commute time. Trains to Victoria take around 50 minutes. Box Hill National Trust is on the doorstep.
Kingston upon Thames
Technically a London borough but Surrey in character - fast District line access to central London, excellent shopping and schools and a riverside Thames setting. A popular first step for inner Londoners easing into the transition.
Surrey's grammar school system
Surrey operates selective grammar schools in Kingston, Sutton, Guildford and Reigate - a significant draw for families with school-age children. The grammar schools in the county are among the highest-performing state schools in England.
