Virginia Water - The UK Town Only Millionaires Can Afford

Описание: Why is Virginia Water the only town millionaires can afford? Tucked away in the leafy county of Surrey, just 20 miles southwest of London, lies one of the wealthiest places in the United Kingdom—Virginia Water. Known for its elite residents, ultra-luxurious homes, and private golf estates, this isn’t just any village. It’s a place where millionaires feel at home—and most others are priced out.

The Wealth Behind the Gates
At the heart of Virginia Water lies the iconic Wentworth Estate, a 700-hectare gated community of sprawling mansions, pristine lawns, and 24/7 security. This estate alone is responsible for much of Virginia Water’s global reputation as the “Beverly Hills of Britain.” Home prices here regularly stretch into the multi-millions, with many properties selling for £5 million, £10 million, and even upwards of £30 million. These aren’t just homes—they're architectural masterpieces. In fact, the average home in Virginia Water now sells for over £1.4 million, making it the most expensive postcode outside London. The vast majority of properties are completely out of reach for anyone without significant wealth. It’s not just about affording the home—it’s about maintaining it, securing it, and blending into a neighbourhood filled with CEOs, celebrities, and foreign dignitaries.

The Lifestyle of the Elite
Virginia Water offers more than just luxurious homes—it promises a lifestyle reserved for the few. The Wentworth Club, a world-renowned golf and leisure facility, draws members from across the globe. With championship-level courses, fine dining, spa treatments, and an exclusive membership base, it’s not surprising that Virginia Water appeals to the upper echelons of society. The area is also surrounded by natural beauty—Windsor Great Park, Virginia Water Lake, and well-kept private woodlands create a peaceful environment that feels far from the chaos of city life. Add to that its proximity to Heathrow Airport and London, and you’ve got a location that perfectly balances privacy and convenience.

Who Really Lives Here?
This UK town isn’t just rich in architecture—it’s rich in star power. Over the years, Virginia Water has attracted a long list of elite residents, including global music legend Sir Elton John, who famously lived on the Wentworth Estate in the early 1970s. His former home, nicknamed “Hercules,” was a symbol of his rise to stardom. However, it’s important to note that Elton John no longer lives in Virginia Water—he moved to his long-time residence in Old Windsor in 1974. Today, the village remains a discreet haven for celebrities, business tycoons, and international elites who value luxury, privacy, and prestige. Virginia Water isn’t just a postcode—it’s a statement. With unmatched luxury and a millionaire-only market, this UK town truly lives up to its reputation as the most exclusive village in Britain.
