Virginia Water is an electoral ward in Runnymede, Surrey, England, sitting on the edge of Windsor Great Park around the ornamental lake with its cascade and classical follies. The lakeside and nearby Savill Garden give the area a strong recreational and historic character that attracts local visitors as well as residents who value the open parkland.
The ward contains affluent residential streets close to the Wentworth Estate and Wentworth Club, and functions as a desirable commuter hub with a station on the Waterloo to Reading line and easy access to the M25 and A30. Despite its prosperity the centre retains small‑village shops and community amenities, creating a mix of rural parkland atmosphere and suburban convenience.
