Stars Flock to Surrey: UK’s New Family Hotspot
While London remains the UK capital and a magnet for celebrities, Surrey is rapidly gaining attention as the preferred retreat for stars looking to raise families. Four areas within Surrey have made it into the top 10 of the ‘family hotspot’ index, highlighting its appeal.
HELLO!’s Deputy Features Editor Sophie Hamilton, a 15-year Surrey resident, praises the county for its lush countryside, excellent schools, and its accessibility to London. "Surrey is a great place for families," she states, emphasizing the plethora of activities available for children, from parks to adventure farms like Chobham and Hobbledown.
Several high-profile figures have chosen Surrey as their home. Actor Tom Hardy and wife Charlotte Riley enjoy a low-profile family life with their two children, keeping details about their residence private. Former footballer Peter Crouch and model Abbey Clancy share a spacious home where they raise their four children and even record their podcast, ‘The Therapy Crouch.’ Clancy humorously recalled how Crouch’s living conditions were sparse when they first met.
Peter and Dr. Emily Andre have created a vibrant family life in their stunning Surrey mansion, featuring a gym and beautiful garden. They are raising three children, with Peter’s older kids from a previous marriage also under their roof.
Tennis champion Andy Murray shifted to Surrey in 2022, settling into a sprawling estate complete with a tennis court for his four children. Meanwhile, actor Matthew Goode and his family maintain privacy in their home, an effort that reflects a desire to keep their lives out of the public eye.
Other notable residents include Amanda Holden, who showcases her design talent in her family home, and former pop star Louise Redknapp, who shares glimpses of her chic abode on social media. With a blend of beautiful surroundings and community spirit, Surrey proves to be a striking attraction for celebrities and families alike.
