Walton South is a residential ward in Elmbridge, Surrey, England, occupying the southern part of Walton-on-Thames close to the River Thames. The area mixes Victorian and 20th-century housing with pockets of modern development, parks and riverside green space, and sits within easy commuting distance of London via the local rail services from Walton-on-Thames station.
Locally the ward has a neighbourly, suburban feel with high street shops, cafés and small businesses serving a largely commuter population; community life is boosted by boating and rowing activity on the river and sports clubs such as Walton & Hersham FC. Historically a riverside settlement that expanded in the Victorian era, the area reflects the generally affluent character of Elmbridge while retaining active residents’ associations and a sense of local identity around landmarks such as the nearby Walton Bridge.
