Sunbury-on-Thames in Spelthorne, Surrey, England sits on the south bank of the River Thames, where riverside meadows, locks and small islands give it a pleasantly green, suburban character. Historically part of Middlesex until local government changes in the 1960s, it’s known locally for Kempton Park racecourse and the impressive restored steam pumping engines at Kempton Waterworks, while good rail links from Sunbury railway station on the Shepperton branch and proximity to Heathrow and the motorways make it popular with commuters.
The community mixes long-standing neighbourhoods and commuter households, with a lively high street, riverside pubs and walks and annual rowing and boating events that draw families and visitors; the local economy blends retail, light industry and leisure and events at the racecourse, while conservation areas around the historic centre and parish church help preserve a village atmosphere within easy reach of London.
