About Shepperton: Travel to Shepperton railway station and stay for a few days at the nearby Warren Lodge Hotel and explore and discover for your yourself some of it's secrets and beauty. Shepperton is a town in Surrey (though still likes to think of itself in Middlesex) in England. To the South it is bounded by the River Thames at Desborough Island and is bisected by the M3 motorway. The name is derived from 'Shepherd's Town' and the name of one of the older streets, Sheep Walk, still reflects that origin. Shepperton in the Domesday Book of 1086 was called Scepertone. It was held by Westminster Abbey. Its domesday assets were: 8 hides. It had 7 ploughs, pasture for 7 ploughs, 1 weir worth 6s 8d. It rendered £6. The Church Square area, next to the river is the original village. When a railway station was constructed a mile to the North, linking Shepperton to London's Waterloo station, the village expanded in that direction. Shepperton was a parish in the Staines Rural District in Middlesex from 1894 to 1930, when it became part of the Sunbury-on-Thames Urban District. It was transferred to Surrey in 1965 rather than becoming part of Greater London.
Shepperton Studios is located here. Many films were made here such as Carol Reed's The Third Man, Harry Enfield's Kevin and Perry Go Large and Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein. Shepperton is also the home of author J. G. Ballard and famousley gets a mention in the novel The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells in which its destruction is described.
