Hi All, my partner & I are hopefully moving to Weybridge in a few months, and it would be great to hear of some recommendations for the following:
- Good gyms
- Doggy Daycare?
- Best pubs!
- Which tennis club to join (I’m not very good but want to join one for the social and fitness aspect)
- Nice walking routes with dogs
- Nice running routes
- Things to do that aren’t obvious but locals know about them!?

Any recommendations will be very much welcome! Thanks in advance!

Hi I’m moving to Guildford in October to start a PhD in virology, does anyone know of any group activities etc for 20-30s to get to know new people. I’m a gay Catholic so walking contradiction 😂😂, into plants, music, drag, karaoke and wine. Any and all suggestions welcome

Just had a baby 6 months ago and I’m really struggling to find new friends. I go to a few baby groups in Reigate and Redhill but can’t find anyone to connect with beyond the group. I just feel very lonely. Any tips?

I'm turning 35 and would like to have a special meal out/day out. I have young children, so even though I'd like to treat myself to something fancy, its just not going to work. Any suggestions around West Sussex/Surrey that both adults and children would enjoy? Either for just a meal or bonus if we can make it a a whole day out. Thanks

We are hopefully about to accept on a move in Surrey - does anyone have recommendations for a local solicitor they have had a good experience with?

This is a bit niche but I’m looking for a place to rent, available at the weekend, preferably in Guildford that has high ceilings (5m+).
I would like to use it for partner acrobatics so ideally it would have a structural beam or something that longes can be attached so the training can be safer.

I tried to look online but didn’t have much luck, there is a circus school in Walton but it’s not bookable at the weekend.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm moving to Surrey for Uni this September, and wanted to ask if people knew about any cheaper gyms than the uni was offering (£30/mon or £280/yr)?

I currently use a cheap school gym, but I don't know if anything similar is there and Im not looking for anything fancy just plates, dumbbells, and barbells without the need to sell one of my kidneys on top of accommodation

Hi all,

After living in West London for 22 years we are ready to move to a greener, cleaner place. We don't have children yet, but I want to buy a house where we just stay for another 20+ years, so schools are an important consideration. We need easy access to Kingston (by car), and a connection to central London (30ish minutes preferred, but open to a longer commute if I find the perfect place).

Now here's the kicker: our budget went on a serious diet and we have max £550k.

I feel like I am looking for a unicorn, but maybe you have some tips or advice where to look?

Anybody have a clue, compared to other areas in England, Surrey is taking major hits when it comes to house prices. Any reason ( specific to surray) other than lower legal immigration ( last 1 year), AI boom, bad economy, political instability, Interest rate, war etc.

Hi all, I just wanted to see if there are any ladies in their early 20’s who struggle to meet new friends? I’ve been to uni and had some great friendships there but my uni is so far we have naturally lost touch.
I would love to have a group of friends to go out with, go on girly trips with and have a good laugh but it seems a little tricky. I like to think of myself as a family confident bubbly and a person who’s easy to have conversation with but I guess the fact I WFH and don’t have any social clubs I go to puts me at a disadvantage…. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I know starting hobbies and clubs is the obvious suggestion (I have looked into those and tried some) but it seems like a lot of the time the people already know each other and/or go along with a friend anyway.

Thinking of buying a house there and was just wondering if it had any downsides I need to look out for? Saw it once and it seemed relatively quiet and nice!

Piggy backing off another post today asking about London connections if that’s ok!
We are a couple in our mid-30s considering moving from SW London to Surrey and are wanting to capitalise off the fact that we don’t need a connection to London.

I am a doctor who may be rotating so looking for a doable commute to Surrey hospitals and my husband works from home. We have some friends who live in the very commuter-y areas who say the less commutery ones are a lot more affordable.

Our budget is around 800k and we would be looking for at least a 3 bed with a reasonable size garden, we are hoping to get a dog and thinking about kids in the next couple of years so good school links and access to open spaces but also shops cafes pubs etc..

I’m just wondering where to narrow down our search to as I am just searching ‘Surrey’ and a bit clueless other than areas I’ve visited friends!

Hi

My (36F) and partner (33M) have started to look into Surrey as a potential area to move. I'm sure there's loads of posts out there on this but wanted to see if we can get some initial recommendations to get our research going.

We currently live in Earlsfield and I've lived in Balham and Teddington before but first time thinking a bit further out. Here are some things we are after:

* Easy commute into central London
* Don't have kids yet but good state schools
* Nice high street / village like feel
* Safe and clean
* Min 3 bedroom with option to extend
* Budget about £900k-£1.1mil

People have suggested Weybridge, Esher, Woking etc but keen to hear from people who have or are living there.

Thanks so much!
