Esher is a lovely town to discover in your hire car. It lies in the borough of Elmbridge close to the River Mole. Much of the area is suburban. It has its own railway station which can be found on the Portsmouth Road. Trains travel on down to Clapham Junction and beyond.

During the reign of Henry VIII, Esher was appointed a hunting ground for the King and his courtiers. During Queen Victoria’s reign Claremont Mansion was used as place for the Queen to sometimes reside at. It was also lived in by Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg until he went on to become King of Belgium. Following the French revolution of 1848 King Louis-Philippe and Queen Marie-Amelie also sought refuge at the house upon the request of Queen Victoria.

In the swinging sixties the very famous George Harrison, one of the fab four bought a house in Esher. It was called Kinfauns. The rest of the Beatles clan were frequent visitors, hanging out in the basic makeshift recording studio.

The famous Sandown park racecourse can also be found close to Esher’s station. It is still used as a racecourse during the racing season.

The very popular Esher College sits on Weston Geen Road. It is a purpose built building and offers a wide variety of courses to sixth formers of 16 to 19 year olds. The college is very popular and oversubscribed. Applicants must apply early in order to get the course that they want.

Esher also has some extremely desirable homes. A three bedroomed semi detached house in the more desirable roads near the station could cost you in the region of £600,000. As you drive by in your car hire these attractive houses may attract your attention.
