AIBU to think that Chertsey is not that brilliant?

Stuck here for the day while DC at Thorpe Park. Chertsey seems to me dreary and unappealing. Only brightened up by presence of Aldi and Sainsbury's

Did anyone say chertsey was that great?

You probably should have headed to Staines if you wanted shopping. Or Virginia water for a lovely walk.

I will know for next time!

I only ever hear Chertsey on the traffic news! It always seems to be congested.

It's never been particularly brilliant. However, it has it's uses, i.e. Sainsburys and Aldi. So, you've seen the highlights !

Oh god we stayed on a campsite in cherstsey years ago we were going to Thorpe park it was the weirdest place the "vibe" was a bit

Glad I'm only here for the day!

I miss the cows on the roof.

Why didn't you just go to Thorpe Park?

Well, it is in Surrey

Kingston is closeish and the shopping is excellent.

DonkeyHotey Don't like rides do didn't want to pay to go into Thorpe Park just to sit and drink coffee!

This. I actually googled it once because I’d heard it so much on the traffic news but didn’t know where it was.

Chertsey is just a SW London suburb - it's not really a place in its own right.

There's also not much to see in Worcester Park, Thames Ditton, Cheam, or any of those places. Kingston, Richmond, Epsom at a push (I'd struggle to fill a whole day there). Hampton Court Palace, or Thames Path if you want an actual activity/tourist attraction.

Pop song to sunburn on Thames instead-it's quite picturesque-or go to Hampton court...

Perhaps if you showed it some respect and called it Chertsey-on-Thames you'd feel better about it?

It’s close to some lovely places. That’s it’s only redeeming feature

Go to RHS Wisley while the teens scream at Thorpe Park is my preferred solution.
