General information
We now have a new office in the South West of London in Surbiton – PESTUK Surbiton .
Surbiton is within the royal borough of Kingston upon Thames, next to the River Thames and 11 miles from London.
Surbiton, formerly within the county of Surrey became part of Greater London in 1965 as part of the Greater London Act of 1963, along with Kingston and Richmond.
Evidence suggests that a settlement has existed within the area since at least 1179. Formerly no more than a farm or agricultural village until the London and Southampton Railway lines construction in the mid 19th Century. This saw travel from London to Southampton possible within 3 hours.
Surbiton Railway station opened in 1838, and was originally called Kingston-upon-Railway. The present station has an art deco facade and was built in 1937 by Southern Railway. The building was designed by James Robb. The station has also been used as a filming location for Harry Potter and the half-Blood Prince as well as Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Adventure of the Clapham Cook.
Pre-Raphaelite painters William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais came to Surbiton in 1851. Millais used the Hogsmill, near to the Tolworth Court Bridge, as background for his painting Ophelia. Hunt used the fields south of this as background for The Hireling Shepherd.
Other famous Surbiton’s include snooker player Jimmy White, author Thomas Hardy and Dr. Thomas Barnardo spent his retirement in the area.
