About
About Chertsey
Chertsey is a town in the Borough of Runnymede in Surrey, England, 18 miles (29 km) south-west of central London. It grew up around Chertsey Abbey, founded in AD 666 by St Erkenwald, and gained a market charter from Henry I. A bridge across the River Thames first appeared in the early 15th century.

Things to do
What to see and do in Chertsey
See
Because Chertsey is near to Heathrow, just after the planes take off they go right over Chertsey so you'll be able to see the planes pass by. The noise can get quite loud but generally it's not a problem.

- Chertsey Museum
- Chertsey Lock
Do
Chertsey is home to one of the UK's largest theme parks, Thorpe Park, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors per year with its extreme thrill rides and attractions. Go up St. Annes Hill, and go to one of the look out towers, and watch the planes taking off and landing at Heathrow. There's a greengrocers shop across the road from the crown hotel, it's called Eithel Taylor. It's the oldest greengrocers shop in England. Two brothers run the shop, and when there's no customers in the shop, they go to the hotel across the road and have a drink at hotel pub.
