Did you know that…
Weybridge is a wonderful suburban town within the Greater London Urban Area, 6 miles southwest of central London, to be precise.
The very old town was named after the nearest River Wey and first mentioned in the Doomsday Book as Weybridge and Weybridge in 1086.
A wide variety of rare insects, rare birds, and insectivorous plants renders the area around Weybridge Heath capable of being the centre of attraction for all the wild nature buffs.
The list of notable residents who have lived in Weybridge includes writers Warwick Deeping and E.M. Forster, musicians John Lennon, Tom Jones, and Ringo Starr, footballers Peter Crouch and Will Hughes and also some less famous actors and presenters.
For those who like mysterious things, there’s the New Haw Lock area with its frightening and breathtaking keeper’s cottage. There is talk that the long shapeless mist that still can be seen in the kitchen of the New Haw Lock keeper’s cottage is a ghost of a keeper’s wife who drowned nearby years ago. Believe or not, that’s what people say.
