Esher is a leafy commuter town in the Borough of Elmbridge, in Surrey, England, sitting on the edge of London. It combines a compact high street of shops, cafes and restaurants with several large, well‑heeled residential areas, and benefits from good rail links into central London which help explain its affluent, family‑oriented character.
Geographically the town is notable for green spaces and water: the River Mole runs nearby and the surrounding Esher Commons and the National Trust’s Claremont landscape garden offer popular walking country. Cultural and economic life is shaped by leisure and heritage - most famously Sandown Park Racecourse - alongside historic manor sites such as Esher Place, with Hampton Court Palace and the Thames a short distance away.
