Hersham is a suburban village in the Borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, England, located a short distance inland from the River Thames and between neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames and West Byfleet. It combines pockets of older village character with large areas of inter‑war and post‑war housing, green spaces and nearby golf courses, giving a semi‑rural feel while remaining well connected to central London by road and rail.
The settlement expanded in the 20th century as a commuter suburb and today supports a mix of local shops, community clubs, small business estates and sporting traditions - notably the Walton & Hersham football connection - alongside more affluent residential enclaves. Its history as part of the surrounding manor landscape is still visible in street patterns and local place names, and residents tend to enjoy a strong local identity within generally prosperous Elmbridge.
