Thorpe is a semi-rural ward in the borough of Runnymede, in Surrey, England. It centres on a small village and surrounding green belt, with riverside meadows and a number of former gravel lakes that now support wildlife and informal recreation; despite its quiet character it is a popular commuter area with good road and rail links into London and convenient access to Heathrow.
The local mix includes family housing, village amenities such as a pub and hall, and nearby business parks, while the wider borough’s historic associations - most notably the Magna Carta meadow at Runnymede - give the place a sense of heritage; outdoor activities, birdwatching and waterside leisure are common attractions for residents and visitors alike.
