Longcross is a small village and hamlet in the borough of Runnymede, in Surrey, England, tucked into the wooded, semi-rural belt between Virginia Water and Chertsey. It feels like a commuter outpost - quiet residential streets, surrounded by common land and golf estates such as Wentworth, with a modest railway halt providing regular services into London and the surrounding towns.
What makes Longcross notable beyond its tranquillity is the former Ministry of Defence site on the Longcross estate, now home to Longcross Film Studios, which has attracted major film and TV productions and shifted the local economy a little towards the creative industries. Historically modest and largely residential, the area combines country living with easy access to studios, green space and commuter links, giving it a quietly distinctive character in north‑west Surrey.
