Situated at the mouth of the River Wey, from which it takes its name, Weybridge was a small village until the advent of the railway in 1838 led to its rapid growth into a bustling commuter town. Development on St George’s Hill by Walter George Tarrant’s building company commenced in 1911 heralding the town’s newfound popularity with the elite and the town has since welcomed its fair share of celebrity residents, including Beatles John Lennon and Ringo Starr, footballer Peter Crouch and Dragon’s Den magnate Theo Paphitis.
