Chertsey

Chertsey is a historic market town in the Runnymede district of Surrey, situated on the south bank of the River Thames approximately twenty miles south-west of central London. The town has a long history dating to the medieval Chertsey Abbey, one of the oldest and most important Benedictine monasteries in England, founded in 666 AD; though the abbey was dissolved in 1537, some remains survive. The town centre has a pedestrianised area and a mix of historic and modern buildings. Chertsey is close to the M3 and M25 motorways and is served by trains to London Waterloo.
