Surrey

Surrey is a county in south-east England, bound to the north by the River Thames. The northern part of the county contains the south-western part of the London built-up area. It is the location of some of the most expensive real estate in Europe owing to its location on the southern fringe of London and despite being largely suburban in nature, remains heavily wooded; indeed, it is the most wooded county in Great Britain. The pleasant North Downs Hills run East - West through the county and afford some stunning views over surrounding countryside to the south and London, to the north. South of the North Downs are the Greensand Hills which include Leith Hill, the highest point in SE England. It is regarded as one of the "Home Counties".

The county contains many key settlements of the London built-up area, including Brixton, Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Peckham, Putney, Richmond, Rotherhithe, Wandsworth and Wimbledon. The largest settlement in Surrey outside the London built-up area is Guildford, which is also the county town and has a population of just under 70,000. Principal towns include Reigate, Epsom, Woking, Redhill, Leatherhead, Dorking, Haslemere and Godalming.
