Egham – 7 Quirky Facts
- Magna Carta
Egham’s biggest claim to fame is that it was the site of the signing of the Magna Carter on June the 15th 1215, one of the biggest events in English history. - Royal Show
Every August Bank Holiday the Egham Royal Show features live entertainment, stalls, vintage cars, parades and more. Perhaps the quirkiest event is the dog show which includes a ‘Dog Looking Most Like Owner’ category. - Devastation of Doris
The local Waitrose supermarket lost part of its roof during the high winds brought by the terrifying Storm Doris (“Doris”?!?). - Royal Holloway
Yes, Egham loves anything ‘Royal’, it’s even home to Royal Holloway University. Which was opened by Queen Victoria. - Roman Road
Egham originally stood on a giant Roman causeway that stretched from London to the South West. - Highway Robbery!
By the 17th century, Egham’s route to the South West was attracting robbers and highwaymen. One such ‘scoundrel’ made off with a silver tankard, a watch, forty ounces of burnt silver and ‘six pound weight of hair’. - Dandy Highwaymen
Among the robbers caught in the area were two “respectable citizens” of London. They attacked a “Lady in her chariot”. According to one account “The Lady’s Servants, that is to say, the Coachman and Foot Boy, driving the Lady immediately to the next Village, threw off the Harness, and mounting the Coach-Horses, pursued the Rogues” and actually helped to bag the bad guys!

About Egham
Egham might occasionally be overshadowed by its noisier neighbour Staines (now rebranded Staines-upon-Thames to distance itself from the image created by a certain Ali G), the town has royal connections and a fascinating history.
Royals have visited Egham throughout history, it has a royal show, royal collage, and Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Queen Victoria have all popped by. However, Egham’s biggest royal boast is it was here that King John signed the Magna Carter, a document that changed English history forever and is considered by many as the cornerstone of modern democracy across the world.
Today Egham’s a bustling commuter town with great amenities, good schools and excellent transport links, while surrounded by fantastic countryside.
Leisure
There is so much to do in Egham, the real question will be fitting it all in every week. There’s a leisure centre with gym and swimming pool, rowing club, bowls club, art club, theatre group, boat hire, running club, cycle teams… Are you out of breath yet? Then how about the theatre, cinema (Staines), museum (this is the site of the signing of the Magna Carta after all), river walks, national park land, nearby lakes and Egham is a destination for some of the world’s best polo players and has attracted a number of royals.
Still thirsty for more? Then perhaps the annual beer festival will tickle your taste buds. Or the Egham Royal Show? Windsor Castle and Thorpe Park Resort are both a short drive away. Hop on the train and you’ll be in London’s West End, museums or Regent Street. OK, we’re going for a lie down!
Transport
Close to the M3 and M4 giving access to the South West or Wales and just off the M25, Egham is an exceptional commuter location. 8 minutes from Heathrow Airport, London is also easily accessible with trains taking 41 minutes to London Waterloo.
