Thames Ditton and Long Ditton sit between Esher and Surbiton on the River Thames in the borough of Elmbridge. Thames Ditton has a large inhabited island on the river but is otherwise on the southern bank, located just over 12 miles from central London.
The heart of Thames Ditton village is the high street and shopping area surrounded by residential, schools and sports areas. Its riverside is situated opposite the Thames Path and Hampton Court Palace Gardens and golf course in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Thames Ditton joins Long Ditton and Weston Green in occupying the land between Surbiton, Esher and East Molesey.

At Winter’s Bridge on the Portsmouth Road there is a small parade of shops that includes a nationally recognised patisserie and chocolatier. There is another off-licence, a pharmacy and newsagent on Thorkhill Road, formerly Workhouse Lane.
The village has a Residents’ Association, which was formed in 1934. The Residents’ Association holds all three seats for the ward on Elmbridge Borough Council, and the Surrey County Council seat for the Dittons.
A small United Reformed Church was added in the 19th century. The Vera Fletcher Hall “The Theatre in Thames Ditton” is located on Embercourt Road, near Thames Ditton railway station. There is also an old historic village hall.
