Location

Chertsey is a historic town that originally built up around the Chertsey Abbey. The area was once a marshy island nestled between the Thames and its tributaries, it was the Monks of the Abbey who banked the river that allowed Chertsey to be formed. The Abbey was finally dissolved by King Henry VII, but not before it had left its legacy on this market town.

Chertsey Bridge is a monument in itself and is mentioned by Charles Dickens in his book Oliver Twist, published 1838, where Bill Sykes takes the reluctant Oliver to break into a house in Chertsey. As they approach Chertsey bridge, Sykes pulls Oliver to one side and he fears he will be drowned in the Thames. Instead he takes him to the Black Swan pub to imbibe before going on to commit the burglary.

Chertsey today is a market town with a strong community spirit and many historic buildings including the old town hall, as well as more recent developments, parks, rural and common land. These reasons, together with its access to the road network and train station makes Chertsey a really attractive place to set up home.
