The Anchor Hotel, Shepperton

The Anchor Hotel, Shepperton - Hotel Description

Steeped in history, the warm and inviting Anchor Hotel has overlooked Church Square in the charming village of Shepperton for over 400 years.

The village of Shepperton is situated near the River Thames, no more than 18 miles (30 km) south-west of London. The hotel is based in a quiet residential area, not far from the famous Shepperton Studios.

During its rich and colourful history, the hotel has played host to some famous guests. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's romance blossomed here while they were filming at Shepperton. In the 18th century, when the hotel was just an inn, it was a regular haunt for the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin. This may explain a pistol found hidden in the rafters, bearing the chilling inscription 'Dick's Friend'.

Today, the hotel combines period charm with modern comforts. There are 29 en suite rooms and the hotel offers lunch and dinner.

The hotel itself has also been used for the filming of several major drama series, the most recent of which was the BBC's 'Take a Girl Like You', starring Leslie Phillips and Emma Chambers.

If you would like to recapture something of the romance of past centuries, or tread in the footsteps of famous figures from long ago, look no further than the Anchor Hotel whose ancient walls could tell many a tale of a colourful past.

The Disraeli, Oliver and Bay rooms are good venues for conferences and events of all kinds, from a meeting of six people to a full presentation for 80.
