Surbiton, KT6

Surbiton, a suburban area of London in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, is a commuter town next to the river Thames, populated with a mixture of Art-Deco courts, spacious and grand late-19th century town houses blending into a sea of semi-detached 20th century housing estates.

There is evidence that a settlement has existed at Surbiton since at least 1179. At the time, it was known as Suberton(e), Old English for southern farmstead. Norbiton lies to the northeast, and is separated from Surbiton by the Hogsmill river. Before the arrival of the railway, Surbiton was little more than a farm. The town started to prosper when a plan to build the main railway line down to the south coast through nearby Kingston was rejected by the residents there, resulting in the line being routed through Surbiton. Surbiton railway station opened in 1838, and was originally named Kingston, and was only renamed Surbiton to distinguish it from the new Kingston station on the Shepperton branch line built later. As a result Kingston is now on a branch line whereas passengers from Surbiton, a smaller town in comparison, can reach central London in one direction in about 18 minutes on a fast train and stations as distant as Portsmouth or Southampton in the opposite. This makes Surbiton a good town from which to commute into central London, and the population reflects this.
