Thorpe in Runnymede is a small village in the borough of Runnymede, in Surrey, England, lying beside the River Thames just south of Staines-upon-Thames and close to Egham. It sits immediately off the M25, so it combines a quiet riverside feel with easy commuting access and is within easy reach of Heathrow.
The area mixes traditional village character with notable leisure and historic features: the large Thorpe Park theme park and nearby lakes draw visitors and provide local employment, while the neighbouring Runnymede meads - famous as the site associated with the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215 - give the locality a strong historic identity. The result is a blend of commuter suburbia, leisure economy and riverside countryside popular with walkers and watersports enthusiasts.
