St George’s Hill is an upmarket area of Weybridge.
St George’s Hill is a private gated community having golf and tennis clubs, as well as approximately 420 houses.
The summit is 78 metres above mean sea level. In April 1649, common land on the hill had been occupied by a movement known as
The Diggers, who began to farm there. They are often regarded as one of the world’s first small-scale experiments in socialism. The Diggers left the hill following a court case five months later.
With its broad summit, the hill results in views of Surrey varying from one observation point to another. This spurred on the idea for the development with views along the estate roads.
St George’s Hill first served as a home and leisure location to celebrities and successful entrepreneurs after its division into lots in the 1910s and 1920s when Walter George Tarrant built its first homes.
Land ownership is divided between homes with gardens, belonging to house owners and the estate roads and verges belonging to its residents’ association.
