St George's Hill

51°21′07″N 0°26′42″W / 51.352°N 0.445°W / 51.352; -0.445 St George's Hill is a 964-acre (3.9 km2) private gated community in Weybridge, Surrey, England.

Comprising more than 450 properties, the land that is now the contemporary St George's Hill estate was purchased by builder W. G. Tarrant in 1911. Over the following decades, Tarrant masterminded the development of St George's Hill into a country retreat for wealthy Londoners that promised both seclusion and natural beauty.

St George's Hill is known for its population of celebrities and high net worth individuals, and is generally considered the most prestigious of the Surrey private estates, only rivalled by nearby Wentworth. Notable residents have included John Lennon and Ringo Starr of The Beatles, golfer Nick Faldo, and F1 racing driver Jenson Button.
